\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>DAY 3 &#8211; August 1 &#8211; Gorilla Trekking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gorilla Trekking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge, it is a 20 minute drive to the national park headquarters.\u00a0 We left about 7:10am and got there about 7:30am.\u00a0 The national park seems to be both organized and disorganized at the same time.\u00a0 It is quite an effort to get all the groups organized, but it also takes them a while before they get the groups together.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival, there is a local dance group that performs Intore style dancing for tips.\u00a0 There is also coffee, tea, toilets, and free WiFi.<\/p>\n<p>After 30 minutes or so, there is a briefing with the gorilla guide in your group of 8 trekkers. Our group was the Amaroho group.<\/p>\n<p>All the groups head out to different parking areas.\u00a0 Ours was about a 40 minute drive.\u00a0 The last part of the drive was on one of the bumpiest roads I have ever experienced.\u00a0 Children ran alongside the car trying to sell their drawings of gorillas.\u00a0 It was very cute, but our guide says that if the kids make money, then they don&#8217;t want to go to school, so he discouraged us from buying them.<\/p>\n<p>At the trailhead, you get a walking stick and can get a local porter.\u00a0 The local porters are $10 and are a good way to help the local community.\u00a0 They carry your day pack and also help you on the steep and slippery sections.<\/p>\n<p>We started hiking at 9:00am.\u00a0 It was about 1 hour of walking through farm fields with views of the volcanoes until we reached the edge of the forest.\u00a0 It was another 1 hour of hiking on a well-traveled trail until we reached our gorilla group.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 trackers bushwhack a trail into where the gorillas are, so the trail is rougher.\u00a0 All packs are left on the trail with the porters before going to the gorillas (just cameras).<\/p>\n<p>You get exactly 1 hour with the gorillas.\u00a0 Our family had babies, females, young males, and 2 silverbacks.\u00a0 When we first approached them, there were 2 youngsters chasing each other in the trees, some adults were laying around, and 1 silverback was just beyond.\u00a0 They started to move up the hill, so we followed.\u00a0 There was a mother with a very young baby just cuddling and playing.\u00a0 We followed the rest of the group further up the hill where they were eating.\u00a0 They spread out a bit, so we would go from one to another just watching them.\u00a0 The trackers were great at finding them in the bushes.\u00a0 This part was on a steep hill and slippery.\u00a0 The hour went by so fast!<\/p>\n<p>A GoPro or other video was handy.\u00a0 A long lens was not necessary as we were very close to them.\u00a0 Long pants and shin-high gaiters were nice as there are stinging nettles.\u00a0 It was dry on our hike, so hiking shoes were fine.\u00a0 If it is wet and muddy, hiking boots would be a necessity as well as a rain jacket.\u00a0 Layered shirts to adapt to different temperatures was helpful.\u00a0 The lodges rent rubber boots, pants, and jackets.<\/p>\n<p>After our time with the gorillas, we went back to our packs for a snack.\u00a0 It was nice to have some extra snacks to share with the trekking group as well as the guide, porters, and trackers.<\/p>\n<p>It was another 2 hour hike back down to the parking lot.\u00a0 We saw an elephant in a meadow at the bottom of the hill.\u00a0 Our guide said that in 16 years of gorilla trekking, that was the fourth time he saw an elephant.<\/p>\n<p>You need exact change for the porter.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have to tip the porter or guide, but I think it&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n<p>We reached the parking lot at 2pm, and it was a 15 minute drive to the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge.\u00a0 The lodge serves buffet lunch until 3pm, and it has a nice outdoor dining area.<\/p>\n<p><a

\/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Golden Monkeys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Golden Monkeys trek starts at the same national park headquarters with a similar orientation process.\u00a0 There is currently no limit on the number of people that go to the Golden Monkeys, they split us into 2 groups of 20+ people.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Monkeys are fun because they are very animated, jumping from tree to tree, swinging up in the trees, and running on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>We got to the parking area around 9:00am.\u00a0 It was a 1 hour hike in, 1 hour with the monkeys, and 1 hour hike out.\u00a0 There are hiking poles at the trailhead, and you can get a porter for $10.\u00a0 Similar to the gorillas, you leave your backpacks with the porters before going into the monkeys.\u00a0 We had a short break after seeing the monkeys for snacks, which we shared with the guide, porters, and 3 trackers.<\/p>\n<p>They are further away than the gorillas, so a long lens was important as well as video with zoom.\u00a0 The GoPro wasn&#8217;t as useful.<\/p>\n<p>You need exact change for the porter.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have to tip the porter or guide, but I think it&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n<div

Airport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we drove into the Kigali Airport area, we stopped at a security checkpoint, which was searched by dogs.\u00a0 One car had to remove all it&#8217;s luggage and people, but the other car did not.<\/p>\n<p>There is a line outside the airport to check tickets, passports, and yellow fever certificates.\u00a0 It helps having a copy of the e-tickets to get through the line faster.\u00a0 There are luggage handlers, who can help with your luggage all the way to the ticket counter (for a tip).<\/p>\n<p>All luggage and travelers have to go through an x-ray\/metal detector to enter the airport.\u00a0 Computers and iPads out, shoes off.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you check in at your airline counter and check luggage.\u00a0 RwandAir has a 60 lb. luggage limit for checked bags, which can be in 1 or 2 bags.\u00a0 Carry-on has a limit of 10kg.\u00a0 All carry-on luggage gets a tag (except purses).<\/p>\n<p>Next is passport control, where they look at tickets, passports, and yellow fever certificates.<\/p>\n<p>The waiting area has 2 shops, snacks, and toilets.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you go through a final security checkpoint to get to the boarding area.\u00a0 You are given a color-coded boarding card.\u00a0 You wait in the boarding area until your flight is called.\u00a0 There are no services in this area.<\/p>\n<p>You will take a bus to the airplane where you hand in your color-coded boarding card.<\/p>\n<p>The RwandAir flight to the Kilimanjaro Airport is only 1.5 hours long on a Dash 8, but they offer a hot meal and free wine\/beer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a
