Mountain Gorillas Trekking

Mountain gorilla trekking begins early, in the cool mountain air, as you drive toward the edge of Volcanoes National Park while the forest slowly wakes up. After a short briefing with the rangers, the walk begins — sometimes gentle, sometimes steep — following fresh signs through bamboo and dense greenery.

As you draw closer, the forest grows quieter. Then suddenly, they are there: a gorilla family moving calmly through the vegetation — mothers with babies, young ones at play, and the silverback watching over the group. You’ll spend a precious hour in their presence, close enough to notice expressions, gestures, and the quiet intelligence in their eyes.

It’s a powerful and humbling encounter — one of the rarest wildlife experiences on earth. Strictly limited permits protect the gorillas and their habitat, making each visit both deeply respectful and truly special.

Primates Trekking

Primate trekking in Rwanda offers a different rhythm of discovery. Walking through ancient forests, you may encounter chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, and other primates moving swiftly through the canopy or calling out from the trees.

Each trek is shaped by the forest itself — the sounds, the light, and the unpredictability of wildlife. Observing these animals in their natural environment brings a sense of connection to Rwanda’s rich biodiversity, while directly supporting conservation and research efforts. It’s immersive, lively, and quietly exhilarating.

Wild Places, Exceptional Comfort

In Rwanda, comfort is woven naturally into the journey. Many of the country’s finest lodges are set in extraordinary locations — on the edge of rainforests, overlooking rolling hills, or close to gorilla trekking routes.

After a day in the wild, guests return to beautiful rooms, thoughtful service, excellent dining, and peaceful spaces to unwind. It’s less about indulgence and more about privacy, warmth, and ease — allowing you to experience Rwanda at its very best, without ever feeling removed from the landscape around you.

Roz Carr & Imbabazi Orphanage

A visit to Imbabazi is both gentle and deeply moving. You’ll stroll through English cottage gardens filled with colorful flowers and birds, with sweeping views of Mount Karisimbi, Mikeno, and Nyiragongo in the distance.

Here, you’ll learn about the life and legacy of Rosamond Carr and her profound influence on the local community of Mudende. The tour includes the former Imbabazi Orphanage, where stories of resilience, kindness, and purpose come to life. You’ll also hear about Mrs. Carr’s lasting friendship with Dian Fossey and see the actual locations where scenes from Gorillas in the Mist were filmed — grounding history, conservation, and human connection in one remarkable place.

Akagera National Park

Akagera National Park offers a completely different side of Rwanda. As Central Africa’s largest protected wetland and Rwanda’s only savannah park, it stretches across 2,500 square kilometers of open plains, lakes, and rolling hills.

A safari here includes a full game drive and a boat safari on Lake Ihema. You may encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, buffalo, and a remarkable diversity of birdlife — over 500 species. With the recent reintroduction of black rhinos, Akagera has once again become a true Big Five destination, offering a classic African safari experience within Rwanda’s borders.
