4 Days of Safari Adventure in Rwanda

For those who are short on time but yet want to learn about Rwanda’s history and culture, this 4-day Rwanda safari adventure is perfect. Walking with Rwanda’s gorillas is the easiest; one- to six-hour excursions are possible. Just tell your guide that you can’t handle longer hikes and ask to be put in an easy trekking group.

Kigali is where this 4-day safari starts and ends. Our representative will meet you at the Kigali International Airport and transport you to the hotel of your choice for a Bed & Breakfast stay, taking 20 to 30 minutes. After touring Kigali, the cleanest and fastest-growing city in Africa, and learning about its history and culture, the following day,.

It’s time for a 2-hour trip to Rwanda’s renowned Volcanoes National Park, which is home to habituated gorilla families, after lunch in Kigali. You will embark on a village visit, gorilla tracking, and golden monkey tracking before heading back to Kigali.

Volcanoes National Park is covered in bamboo forest, as opposed to Uganda’s Bwindi Forest National Park, which is covered in tropical rainforest. Nothing compares to the thrill of chasing these gentle giants on the Virunga slopes. For your safety during the hike, tracking gorillas requires certain physical condition, but age is not a barrier—we have recruited people who were 90 years old and successfully followed gorillas in the past.

Following a briefing from park officials on your gorilla tracking day, you will be tasked with tracking families in groups of no more than eight people. It’s finally here—your much-awaited expedition to see gorillas in the bush. Take a stroll

After spending an hour with the gorillas, when you finally arrive at their site, you will return to the starting point and make your way to your resort to rest. To discover more about the people and culture of Rwanda, you might also spend the evening taking a tour of the village.

You’ll go golden monkey tracking in the park on your final day of stay at the volcanoes. Similar to gorilla tracking, Golden Monkey tracking starts at 7:00 am at Kinigi for briefing. There are two habituated groups of Golden Monkeys that can be tracked on the slopes of Karisimbi and Mount Sabinyo. You will meet your guide for the walk back to Kigali after the hike.
