Upon your arrival at the airport, our representative will be eagerly awaiting to greet you and facilitate your transfer to Akagera National Park. For your comfort and convenience, we suggest spending an overnight in Kigali beforehand to ensure you are fully rejuvenated for your upcoming safari adventure in Rwanda. Your journey will commence with a scenic drive to Akagera National Park, where you'll be accommodated for 2 nights at a superb lodge. The drive from Kigali to the park typically takes 2 to 3 hours, allowing you to arrive in the evening and unwind with relaxation, dinner, and overnight stay at your lodge.
After your early breakfast, you will kickstart your game drive with an open-roof safari vehicle for game viewing. You can expect to see animals like hippos, elephants, impalas, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and waterbucks among others. You later proceed to the lodge for a hot lunch. After your hearty lunch, drive to the starting point for the boat cruise. After the boat ride, you will do another game drive as you head back to your lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight.
Following breakfast, embark on an exhilarating game drive through the park, beginning your journey to Volcanoes National Park via Kigali city. Enjoy the picturesque scenery as you traverse the landscape, with a stop for lunch en route. Arrive at your destination in the late evening, where you'll have the opportunity to relax and unwind. Take advantage of the serene surroundings by opting for a short walk around your lodge, engaging with the local community, or simply enjoying the amenities provided at your accommodation.
Your gorilla trekking experience will begin in the morning with a hearty breakfast. You will drive to the park headquarters with a packed lunch where you will meet the park ranger guide at 7 am for registration. He will take you through a briefing about the dos and don'ts while tracking and will then lead you to the forest to trek the endangered mountain gorillas.
The mountain gorilla trekking lasts from 1 to 8 hours, depending on where the gorilla family is spotted because they keep moving to look for food. It will be exciting, as you will be enjoying the calls of the birds and seeing other primates as you search for the endangered mountain gorillas. After a successful trek, head back to your lodge for relaxation.
Start the day with a mouthwatering breakfast at the lodge. You then drive to the park headquarters with all of your luggage and trekking gear for a pre-trek briefing. The knowledgeable ranger guides will go over the dos and don'ts of trekking and then accompany you on an experience that will last anywhere from 1 to 7 hours, depending on how far the golden monkeys are foraging. You can expect to see golden monkey habitats, rare plant species like giant lobelia, birds, and more.
