The markets, the handicraft shops and the genocide sites are some of the main places that you must visit. If time allows, you will have to visit Nyabugogo market, the Franco-Rwanda cultural centre and a genocide memorial. Note that some of these places never open on public holidays.

Then drive on the brim of Parc National des Volcano depending on the group or family of gorilla that you will be allocated to trek.  Thereafter go through the park for Gorilla trekking. The time taken to look out for the gorillas will vary with how close they will be and it is unpredictable because gorilla tracking takes place in their natural habitats.   The gorilla safari here commences at about 2000 meters above sea level in the upmost slopes of the Volcanoes. After tracking and encountering your assigned group you will spend one hour in their company before tracking your steps down the volcanoes.   An en counter after a backbreaking walk is a worthwhile!  If time allows, you will visit the little known but eloquently gorgeous twin lakes of BULERA & RUHONDO at Dinner & Overnight at the Lodge.
