Day 1: Kigali – Volcanoes National Park – Kigali
Your day begins with an early morning luxury pickup from your Kigali hotel or residence in a private safari vehicle. As you head north, you will enjoy a scenic drive through Rwanda’s rolling green hills, often referred to as the “Land of a Thousand Hills.” Upon arrival at Volcanoes National Park, you will receive a briefing from expert park rangers before setting off on your gorilla trekking adventure. The trek may take between 2 to 6 hours depending on the location of the gorilla family, but the reward is unmatched: a magical hour spent in the presence of these gentle giants.

After the trek, you will be treated to a gourmet lunch at a luxury lodge close to the park. This is the perfect time to relax and reflect on the extraordinary experience you have just had. You may also take in the breathtaking views of the Virunga Volcanoes that dominate the landscape. In the afternoon, you will drive back to Kigali in comfort, with optional stops at cultural sites, local markets, or the Kigali Genocide Memorial if time allows. Your safari concludes with a private drop-off at your preferred location in Kigali, leaving you with cherished memories of Rwanda’s most iconic experience.
