Experience the highlights of Kigali and the national parks of Akagera and Volcanoes to see the Big Five and the unmissable mountain gorillas.

Enjoy a whistle stop tour of the Rwandan capital, stopping to enjoy a traditional lunch before you drive east to Akagera National Park. Look out for the Big Five as you spend a day crossing the reserve’s undulating savannah, and a dawn drive hoping to catch sight of the most elusive animals.

You’ll journey northwards to the border town of Musanze, in the foothills of Volcanoes National Park. Trek into the mountains in search of the enchanting mountain gorillas and, the following day, the endemic golden monkeys.
