golden-monkey-trackingGolden monkey Trekking in Rwanda is another much loved highlight for any adventure lover that takes on a Safari in Rwanda.  This amazing safari activity is conducted in the Volcanoes National Park. Golden monkeys are seen within the forests on rather a higher altitude of the forest canopy and are an unusual species listed among the world’s most endangered species.
They are playful, inquisitive and spend most of their time jumping from one bamboo branch to another. These monkey species have over time overcome shyness and now are not interrupted by daily visits by researchers and tourists. Volcanoes National Park has 2 Golden Monkey habituated groups and one of the groups has between 80-100 members and this group has established its home at the bottom of Mountain Sabinyo.
Just like mountain gorilla tracking in Rwanda, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) offers golden monkey treks in volcanoes national park that run daily, beginning early in the morning at 7:00am at the park headquarters in Kinigi from where visitors depart within the company of park ranger guides. There is no limited number for visitors who go for this activity however visitors are allowed to spend only one hour with the golden monkeys. Each trekker is required to have a Golden Monkey Trekking Permit and permits costs $100 per individual. The Permits can be booked earlier through your travel agents or even bought at the park headquarters on the day of trekking.
Golden Monkeys are active creatures, always jumping from a tree to another and they are a bit challenging to take photographs. However, all you need is to set your camera shutter-speed fast for better photographs.
