A four-day safari that starts and finishes in Kigali. This safari can also be done on a scheduled and private basis. Your journey takes you through the beautiful terraced hills that characterise much of Rwanda's landscape.

Gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcans, through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga range, is one magical experience that you should't miss. On the other hand, you can either go gorilla tracking again (additional permit required, subject to availability), or choose from one of many options - tracking the endangered golden monkey or trekking to Dian Fossey’s grave and the gorilla cemetery, visiting the local school and community projects supported by the Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust, relax on the shores of Lake Kivu, and even take a guided walk to Lake Bulera.

Notes:
  • All gorilla permits need to be purchased at the time of booking or a deposit equivalent to 20% of the cost of the safari paid, whichever is higher.
  • Gorilla viewing is subject to availability of permits, which are limited.
  • Any additional gorilla permits required should be purchased when booking.
  • Gorilla permit prices are subject to change without warning.
Day 1: Kigali
Departing from Kigali you will be welcomed by your expert guide who will provide knowledge and assistance throughout your safari. Your journey takes you through the beautiful terraced hills that characterise much of Rwanda's landscape. Climbing gradually to the base of the spectacular volcanoes of the Virunga range, the five nearest peaks rising high above the verdant countryside, you arrive at the magnificent Volcanoes Virunga Lodge.

Description The magnificent Virunga Safari Lodge, set on a stunning hillside, has eight bandas with a panoramic view of the Virunga volcanoes and the lakes Ruhondo and Bulera.
Day 2: Parc National des Volcans
Gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcans, through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga range, is a magical experience. Once you reach the gorillas, you can spend an hour with them and be back at base in time for a late lunch! Some gorilla families can be more elusive, and tracking can take a full day, especially if it is wet and muddy.

Day 3: Gorilla Tracking
Either go gorilla tracking again (additional permit required, subject to availability), or choose from one of many options. There is much to explore here including tracking the endangered golden monkey or trekking to Dian Fossey’s grave and the gorilla cemetery, the final resting place of her favourite gorilla, Digit. Other popular excursions include visiting the local school and community projects supported by the Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust; the Roz Carr Imbabazi orphanage and meet some of the hundreds of children helped by this uplifting project. Alternatively relax on the shores of Lake Kivu, home to some of the finest inland beaches in Africa, or take a guided walk to Lake Bulera and experience local village life.

Day 4: Depart
Your safari ends with your journey to Kigali.
