The best that Rwanda has to offer is available to you on our 4 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden Monkey Trekking Tour. Visit the golden monkeys and go on a gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park. Cercopithecus mitis kandt, the lesser-known golden monkey, is classified as “endangered”. The only troops in Africa, these recently acclimated groups of around forty individuals, are located in the Virunga Conservation Area! Rwandan gorilla and golden monkey trekking is one of the best global adventure safaris you should experience. We at Precise Destinations will carefully organise your 4 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden Monkey Trekking Tour.
