The most paramount tourism activity in the Republic of Rwanda is gorilla tracking. Of recent, the price of gorilla permits in this country was raised from $750 to $1500. This however has increased the number of tourists booking and confirming gorilla permits. The other activity which you can participate in to top up your gorilla tracking expedition is golden monkey tracking. Golden monkeys are such a unique species of primates which a tourist who has visited the Republic of Rwanda cannot afford to miss watching or viewing.
The activity of Golden monkey tracking is
carried out in Volcanoes National park. If you are to participate in this
unique activity, it starts as early as 7:00am in the morning just like gorilla
trekking activity. This means that an early rise will be required from you. At
your lodge, you will have breakfast then good to the park headquarters for
briefing. With the guide who will be allocated to you, you will go in the
wilderness to search the for these rare species of primates within Volcanoes
national park. Just like the endangered mountain gorillas, these species are
also considered as endangered species and they are not found in many places in
the world. This is why we recommend you to participate in this activity when
you are in the republic of Rwanda since they are rare species of monkeys. In volcanoes
national park, they have been habituated for viewing in different family
groups. There are approximately 80 of these species which are ready to be
viewed.
The most interesting thing about these
mountain gorillas is that they do live in mist bamboo vegetation. This type of
vegetation is found at the base of the volcanoes national park. The habituation
of the gorillas in this park has helped them to overcome their initial shyness
to accept their daily visit by the researchers as well as the tourists. Because
of this therefore, it has increased on the golden monkey tracking safaris in
the Republic of Rwanda. The tourists who come to see the golden monkeys in the
Republic of Rwanda has increased significantly and this means the revenues have
also been increased significantly as a result in the increased in the number of
visitors.
Some considerations you need to put in
mind is that, just as gorilla trekking experience, golden monkey tracking experience
is similar to it. To track gorillas, eight (8) people are allowed and this very
number applies to golden monkey tracking. The limit is 8 people per group. When
you are with these primates, you will be allowed to spend a maximum of one (1)
hour with these great apes. Of course when you are in the wilderness, you will
see them playing on the branches of trees. They are very active creatures and
because of this, they do jump from tree to tree. This is very interesting when
you are viewing. The main challenge however will come when you want to
photograph. At this time, it becomes little bit difficult to use your camera
since they keep on moving from side to side. In this regard therefore, it will
not be easy to take photographs of these special primates when they are hanging
on the tree branches. Apart from the golden monkeys, you will also come across the
silver monkeys, Mona monkeys, vervet monkey, colobus monkeys and many more. If you so wish, you can extend you safari and
also track Chimpanzees in Nyungwe national park. This is also a paramount
activity which you can engage in when you are in the Republic of Rwanda.
