Today, you’ll leave early for the golden monkey trek, another primate species found in Volcanoes National Park. These playful creatures are a joy to watch as they play and feed on the bamboo forests. After your golden monkey trekking, you will visit the Ellen DeGeneres Campus, established by the famous American comedian and talk show host to honour the legacy of Dian Fossey, a pioneering primatologist who studied the mountain gorillas in Rwanda to learn more about gorillas’ well being and overall, about their conservation.
