This is a starting point. We refine lodges, flying days and pacing around who is travelling, the season and how you like to spend a safari afternoon.
Gorilla treks are permit-led, weather-affected and physically uneven. We build the nights before and after around recovery, dry kit and unhurried transfers.
Sightings are carefully managed for the animals’ welfare — one hour with the group is standard once contact is made.
This route focuses on Volcanoes · Akagera. We adjust lodge choice, flight legs and the number of nights in each area to match your season and travel style.

Meet and greet in Kigali, city orientation and overnight in the capital.
Drive into the Virunga foothills. Afternoon Twin Lakes visit or community walk near Musanze.
Guided gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park. Afternoon at leisure or optional cultural visit.
Optional golden monkey tracking, or a restful lodge day with highland views.
Cross to Akagera for savannah wildlife. Afternoon Lake Ihema boat cruise.
Morning and afternoon game drives for Big Five and open plains wildlife.
Return to Kigali for departure, or continue privately to Nyungwe for chimpanzees and canopy walks.
Kigali is compact and well connected. Most parks are within a few hours’ drive; helicopter transfers are available for select routes.
Rwanda’s “Land of a Thousand Hills” climate is mild. Volcanoes National Park can be cool and misty. Dry seasons from June to September and December to February suit trekking best.
Dry months offer firmer forest trails and clearer views. We limit daily travel distances to keep gorilla days calm and unhurried.
This itinerary is a starting framework. Tell us who is travelling, when you hope to go and what matters most, and we will shape lodges, transfers and pacing around you.
