Day 1: Kigali and Akagera National Park - Gorilla Rwanda Tour

Start your adventure in the wild with a Safari Guide to pick you up.
Welcome to the beginning of your trip in Rwanda in the lovely city of Kigali. Your guide will either meet you at Kigali International Airport or at your hotel if you are already there.
If you need any things for your upcoming week in Rwanda, just tell your guide when you are picked up, and he will be happy to make sure you get what you need. You can find most things you need for travel in Kigali, but it’s harder to find them outside of the city.

Eat lunch and then go on a drive to Akagera National Park. The drive will take about 2. 5 hours
Your trip to Rwanda starts with a 2. 5 hour car ride to Akagera National Park. Go up curvy roads and see the view of mountains turn into flat land as you travel to where you will be staying. During your journey, you will have a lunch break at a restaurant in Rwanda with your guide. You can have delicious samosas, which are fried dough with beef, chicken, or veggies inside. You can also enjoy an ice-cold Skol or Mutzig beer, made in Rwanda.
Once you arrive and get settled, have a great evening exploring the savannah, lakes, and beautiful blue skies of the park. You will have dinner at your hotel.

Day 2: Kigali Pick up and Akagera National Park Game Drive - Gorilla Rwanda Tour

Have breakfast and go on a drive in the morning.

After eating breakfast early, you can go on a morning Game Drive led by your Adventure in the wild Safari guide. Since it is still not very hot in the park, you might get to see lions and hyenas hunting. From your car, take a close look at the wetlands and marshes for the birds that only live in this area. Akagera National Park is not visited by many tourists like other famous parks in Kenya and Tanzania. This means you might feel like you and your group are the only ones in the park. Be sure to search for lions and rhinos in the park. Lions were just brought back, and rhinos are a new thing. This drive is a very special and memorable part of your trip in Rwanda.

Have lunch and then go on a drive to Volcanoes National Park.

It will take around 2. 5 hours to reach there.
First, you will drive for 2. 5 hours to reach Volcanoes National Park for your gorilla sightseeing journey. Climb up curvy roads and admire the mountain views on your way to where you will stay. Your guide will give you a helpful talk about your upcoming Gorilla Tracking Safari. Rwanda has many small farms. These farms are about the size of 1 acre. The hills in Rwanda are covered with these farms, and it looks like patchwork of bananas, tea, and other crops.

Dinner and a stroll through the village.

Your Adventure in the Wild Safari tour guide will take you on a walk through a nearby village after you’ve arrived and settled in. Visit the charming villages in the park for a two-hour excursion, and say hello to the welcoming locals there. You will personally witness how simple and fulfilling the local lifestyle is. The kind and down-to-earth people from the villages here value their family and find ways to use things for a long time, even when a wealthier person would just throw them away.

Day 3: Transfer to Volcanoes National Park - Gorilla Rwanda Tour

are spent participating in gorilla trekking.
You will then be assigned to one of ten groups of mountain gorillas. You can begin searching for lowland gorillas once the park ranger guide has explained how to behave in the park.
Your Ranger Guide will start following the gorilla family you were assigned after bringing you to the tracking’s starting point. It could take one to eight hours to locate the mountain gorillas because they are constantly moving.
There will already be park rangers in the forest in the morning, before you arrive. They’ll begin to travel along the path laid out by your gorilla family. With your Ranger Guide, these rangers are constantly in contact. When we locate the gorillas, we will promptly let your Ranger Guide know where they are. Right after that, we’ll head directly to the gorillas.

In the event that the trek takes a while, you will receive a lunch to eat either before or after seeing the gorillas. In the presence of gorillas, people are unable to eat.
You’ll have an hour to observe and capture images of the gorillas after you locate them. You will have enough time to observe gorillas conversing, moving, and enjoying themselves. Any questions you may have regarding mountain gorillas can be answered by your ranger guide.

Come and visit the Ibyiwacu Cultural Center.

After you finish the gorilla trek in Rwanda, go back to where you are staying to have lunch and take a deserved break. When you are prepared, your guide for the wild Safari will bring you to the Ibyiwacu Cultural Center in Kiningi. At the Center, you can see a show of traditional dance and music performed by drummers and dancers. They also have local performers who recreate a traditional wedding ceremony. This old-fashioned play will make you happy and complete your visit to Rwanda.
You will come back to where you are staying before it gets dark to eat dinner.

Day 4: Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda

At the park’s main office, eat breakfast and take in a cultural performance.
Once you’ve had a delicious breakfast at home, return to the Park Headquarters for more coffee, tea, music, and a local dance troupe’s performance. You’ll join a group that tracks Golden Monkeys after a Park Ranger gives a demonstration and an explanation of the process. You will then proceed to the forest’s tracking’s starting point.

Golden Monkey Trekking
Finding and following these animals can be done by tracking golden monkeys.
Comparatively speaking, mountain gorillas are harder to locate than golden monkeys. Typically, they eat in the charming bamboo forest near the mountain’s base. You will spend an hour observing, photographing, and enquiring about the animated Golden Monkeys, just like you did with the gorillas. The park ranger will drive you back to your vehicle later. You’ll have lunch at your lodging before continuing your adventure with your safari guide.

a meal and a trip to the Musanze Caves.
After a filling lunch, your guide will drive you to the Musanze Caves. Even though these caves are not well-known, they are an attractive and significant part of a trip to Rwanda. Over two kilometers of cave make up the longest one. As you descend the broad stone steps from the jungle into the cave’s open entrance, don a helmet. Find the old houses of the people who once resided here by exploring the caves.
Before it gets dark, you will return to your lodging to eat dinner.

Day 5: Transfer Back to Kigali

After breakfast, drive to Kigali for 1-2 hours.
You’ll have the chance to pack up your belongings and travel back to Kigali with your Adventure in the Wild Safari guide after you’ve finished eating breakfast. Enjoy a scenic, downhill drive through small towns, tea plantations, and banana farms in western Rwanda on winding mountain roads.

Remain at your current location or return to Kigali International Airport. It’s not required, but you can choose to take a tour of Kigali City.
If there is time, the tour guide will be delighted to take you to one of Kigali’s well-known bakeries, coffee shops, or a neighborhood market where you can purchase some of the exquisite artwork produced there.
