Get yourself ready for another day out in the forest to search for golden monkeys. These primates are much easier to spot compared to gorillas because they can have their night in the same location for about 2 nights. However, when you spot them, you have to be flexible and fast because they are playful and fond of making quick shifts from one location to another.

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the lodge before going for the evening adventure at Musanze Caves. Located at the foothills of Volcanoes National Park, the caves were formed as a result of a volcanic eruption. The tour gives a deeper understanding of the geographical and geological history of the world and the physical features in this region.

Return to the lodge afterwards for dinner and an overnight stay.

Included: Golden monkey trekking, Musanze caves excursion
