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.

Continue 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.
