Itinerary

Upon arrival, your driver-guide will provide detailed information about your 3-day safari. You will then be transferred north to Volcanoes National Park, located 80km (50mi) from Kigali—approximately a two-hour drive. If you arrive in Kigali early, you can take a city tour, where you can visit the National Museum and the Genocide Memorial Center. After lunch, you will be transferred to the park in the afternoon.

Enjoy an early and delicious breakfast before your driver-guide takes you to the park headquarters by 8 AM for a briefing. Afterward, embark on an incredible adventure—gorilla tracking! This activity usually requires hikers to have a moderate level of physical fitness. The trek can take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, and once you locate the gorillas, you will have the opportunity to observe them for 1 hour. It is truly a remarkable experience to see them play, care for each other and feed. During the trek, hikers may also spot other wildlife, including golden monkeys, elephants, buffalos, and a variety of birds. After the trek, you will be escorted back to the lodge for lunch. You can then choose to visit the beautiful twin lakes, Burera and Ruhondo, take a walk through the local community to watch traditional dances, or simply relax in the afternoon at your lodge.

Be early to rise and have breakfast before you check out of the lodge. After that, your driver-guide will transfer you to Kigali, where you can spend a short time shopping at local markets. You can also buy souvenirs. If you have extra time, you could also visit the pottery project and the Franco-Rwandan Cultural Center. Enjoy lunch and transfer to the airport for your flight home.
