Tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as they swing from the branches in the canopy high above the forest floor is nothing short of exhilarating. The chimps effortlessly cross and scamper through the trees above the gorge, and visitors on the other hand must cross the river using natural bridges in order to keep up with the chimps. So although the walk usually lasts only 2–3 hours, descending the steep gorge and crossing the log bridges over the river requires some agility and fitness.
Chimpanzee tracking is also available in nearby Kalinzu, a forest reserve 30 minutes drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge where there is a community of about 40 habituated chimpanzees.
The Musilikale gorilla group in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park welcomed it’s new baby gorilla on September 26 to mother Isaro. This brings the family total to 25 members.
The family continues to grow with its dominant silverback Musilikale. See the family during your stay at Virunga Lodge.
Thank you to the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the rangers for their continued conservation work to safeguard the mountain gorillas.
