Tour Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Kigali to Akagera National Park, a haven of wildlife and natural beauty. Enjoy an exciting game drive spotting elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and antelopes roaming freely across the savannah. In the afternoon, relax on a scenic boat safari along Lake Ihema, where hippos and crocodiles glide through the waters, and colorful birds decorate the skies.

Start the day with a relaxed half-day game drive as you make your way out of Akagera National Park. Watch for any animals you may have missed the day before and soak in the peaceful beauty of the park. Afterward, drive through Rwanda’s rolling green hills and vibrant local villages to Musanze, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park. Arrive in the evening, settle into your lodge, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Virunga volcanoes as you prepare for your gorilla trekking experience.

Wake up early for an extraordinary gorilla trekking experience in Volcanoes National Park. Trek through the dense, misty rainforest to observe a mountain gorilla family in their natural surroundings — a moving and unforgettable encounter. Afterward, visit Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village to learn about Rwandan heritage through traditional music, dance, and storytelling. Return to your lodge in the evening and unwind, enjoying the stunning views of the Virunga Mountains.

This morning, enjoy a thrilling encounter with the playful golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park. These rare and lively primates swing gracefully through the bamboo forests, offering fantastic photo opportunities. After the trek, cross the Cyanika border into Uganda and drive to Kisoro, a charming town surrounded by dramatic volcanic landscapes. Settle into your lodge near Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and relax as you get ready for your second gorilla trekking adventure the next morning.

Begin your day with another magical gorilla trekking experience, this time in Uganda’s breathtaking Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Hike through lush forest and volcanic slopes to meet another gorilla family — twice the adventure, twice the wonder! Spend an hour observing these gentle giants before descending and starting your scenic drive back to Kigali. Arrive in the evening with unforgettable memories of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife journey.
