Our last day in Rwanda began with another trek to see the gorillas.  Since we were flying out that night, Hussein (our driver from Primates Safari) made sure we got a shorter hike.  This time we were assigned to the Kwitonda family which has over 20 members in it.  The dominant male is Karebqro (which means chin since he was always leaning his chin in his hand when he was a baby).  He is 22 years old (much younger than Kantsbi from the Pablo family who was 39).  There is another silverback in the group as well as a bunch of babies.  We had a 30 minute drive up a very challenging rocky road to get close to the park entrance at the base of Mt Gahinga (one of the northern foothills of Mt Sabyiny0).  A much shorter hike with not much elevation.  The family was walking and eating just inside the park entrance.  We had another great guide who’s name is Roger.

After our trek, we returned to the lodge to wash up and enjoy some lunch before heading off to Kigali to catch our 6:45pm plane to Lusaka.

Since it was Sunday, there wasn’t as much foot traffic along the road.  But many of those who were out were dressed up with their often colorful and best clothes for church.

We also enjoyed the beautiful hilly scenery as we drove.
