Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our dedicated driver-guide from Safari Vacations and Travel Services. After a short briefing, begin your scenic drive to Volcanoes National Park in Kinigi. The journey is a feast for the eyes—rolling green hills, smiling locals, and peaceful countryside views that define Rwanda’s nickname, "The Land of a Thousand Hills." You’ll check in at your lodge and unwind with dinner, preparing for the adventure ahead.
After an early breakfast, you’ll head to the park headquarters for a short but important briefing on gorilla trekking etiquette. Then begins your trek into the lush, misty slopes of the Virunga Mountains. Trekking can last between 2 to 8 hours, depending on where the gorilla families are located. The reward? A magical hour spent up-close with these gentle giants—a deeply moving and humbling encounter. After the trek, return to the lodge for lunch and rest. In the afternoon, if time permits, you can visit the nearby Iby’iwacu Cultural Village for a vibrant insight into local traditions and music.
Following breakfast, go on a guided hike to Dian Fossey’s grave at the former Karisoke Research Centre. The trek winds through bamboo and afro-montane forest, rich with flora, birdlife, and wildlife tracks—including forest buffalo and elephants. The site is a place of reflection, nestled between Mount Karisimbi and Bisoke, where Dian devoted her life to protecting mountain gorillas.
After breakfast, transfer back to Kigali. Depending on your flight time, enjoy a short city tour, including visits to Rwanda’s moving Genocide Memorials at Gisozi, Nyamata, or Ntarama. After lunch in Kigali, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your onward journey—carrying memories of a soulful and life-changing experience.
