TRIP ITINERARY

Day 1: Pick up, city tour & transfer to Volcanoes National Park

After arriving at the airport, you will be welcomed by our driver guide who will take you on a city tour to various sites in the city. Among the sites you will tour in Kigali include the Kigali genocide memorial site, and the local art, and craft market. Have lunch and then transfer to the Volcanoes National Park.

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking

As early as 6:30 am, have breakfast, and then transfer to the national park headquarters for briefing before trekking. At 8:00 am you will start to hike into the forest with an armed guide following specific trails in search of the allocated gorilla family. After reaching the gorillas, you will spend an hour with them and then descend back to the lodge. In the afternoon, go for cultural performances or nature walks. The time taken to meet gorillas varies between an hour and several hours depending on their movements in the forest seeking their food. The park authority allows visitors to spend a maximum of an hour with the gorillas.

Later in the afternoon, we go for a cultural experience to the Ibyiwacu cultural village where you will be introduced to the traditional Rwanda culture through traditional dances, poems, and Rwanda traditional clothing.

Dinner and overnight at the lodge or Hotel

Day 3: Twin Lakes visit and departure

You will have a morning breakfast and then transfer to the beautiful lakes located at the base of volcano Muhabura and close to the border with Uganda. They are surrounded by steep hills with a backdrop of the Virunga volcanic mountains. These twin lakes are great spots to visit and used to be referred to as neglected gems but things have changed and Burera and Ruhondo are now well worth a visit. Their deep blue waters ringed by steep hills and tall waterfalls with the outlines of the nearby Virunga volcanoes provide a spectacular backdrop.

You will have a boat trip on Ruhondo Lake and a nature walk on the shore of Burera Lake as you enjoy the beautiful view of 5 volcanoes. Later drive back to your hotel to pack your bag and drive to Kigali International Airport for your flight home.
