Needless to say of course that the main reason to go to Kinigi is gorilla tracking. This is where the headquarters of the Rwandan Tourism Authority are and this is where all groups start for gorilla tracking.
Gorilla tracking is quiet expensive nowdays. It is 500 Dollars at the time of writing. For me it is worth it every cent! Especially because the money goes towards gorilla protection, which is taken very seriously in Rwanda and the support of the surrounding communities.
They are amazing creatures. Despite their size they are quite placid not really interested at the visitors. They go about their daily routine paying little attention at the people.
For us it was really special as the silverback decided right that moment to have sex with one of the girls of his group. That was quite a sight!!!

We are in Rwanda for one reason only - to see the gorillas. Below is an extract from my diary written at the time:
