For the discerning traveller seeking a deeper, more profound connection, this itinerary offers an encounter with one of nature's most extraordinary creatures: the mountain gorilla. This journey to the “Land of a Thousand Hills” combines poignant history with the ultimate bucket-list wildlife experience. It begins in the heart of Rwanda's vibrant capital before venturing into the emerald jungles of Uganda.
The undisputed highlight is a guided trek to spend a life-changing hour with a habituated family of Mountain Gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Volcanoes National Park. Trekking permits, strictly limited to 96 per day, are secured in advance for you.
Experience an exclusive, behind-the-scenes talk with a field veterinarian from The Gorilla Doctors. Discover how they are saving the species, one gorilla patient at a time.
Walk the Buniga Cultural Trail with the indigenous Batwa people as they share their traditional survival skills, from foraging to fire-making. Visit the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Village, where former poachers now share traditional Rwandan medicine and warrior dances.
Your journey includes a poignant and essential visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, providing a deeper understanding of the country's tragic past and its journey of remarkable resilience and unity.
Enjoy breathtaking views of the Virunga Volcanoes and a boat cruise on the tranquil twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo.
