Start From $645

Staggeringly beautiful and home to premier primate tracking

Rwanda is a country of unbelievable natural beauty. Scenes of rolling green savannahs lead to hills cloaked with tropical rainforests and bamboo groves. Dormant volcanoes rise from glassy lakes. The country is home to three protected national parks (Akagera, Volcanoes and Nyungwe) and Lake Kivu, one of the African Great Lakes.

The foremost reason many come to this central African nation is to see Rwanda’s rare mountain gorillas and silverbacks in the wild. The trek is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest wildlife experiences, the time spent observing a dominant silverback or playful infant an immense privilege. Equally enthralling are encounters with Volcanoes National Park’s golden monkeys, spotted with the help of expert naturalist guides.

Our team are lucky enough to have trekked into the gorilla’s misty, leafy world on several occasions, their combined decades of experience bringing both an unmatched reverence for Rwanda’s remarkable wildlife and an intimate knowledge of the country’s top hotels and lodges – all checked out first hand.

Each itinerary our experts create is fully personalised, whether it’s purely an eye-opening trip to Rwanda or a journey across several African countries for an incredible safari adventure. You can expect seamless planning, fantastic drivers and the very best local guides and trackers.
