4 Days Gorilla Safari and Lake Kivu safari

Day 1: Transfer to Rwanda

On your arrival,  our driver guide will pick you from Kigali International air port and transfer you to Volcanoes National Park  you to your Hotel.

Day 2: Gorilla Tracking

The Volcanoes Park is currently the best place anywhere in Africa to go gorilla tracking, while also supporting a number of other localised mammal, bird and plant species. This 13000-hectare national park protects the Rwanda sector of the Virunga Mountains, a range of six extinct and three active volcanoes, which straddle the border with Uganda and the DRC. Between 2,500 and 3,500m, where an average annual rainfall of 2.000mm is typical, bamboo forest is interspersed with alpine grassland and marsh; a landscape dominated by otherworldly giant lobelia and senecio plants.
After an early breakfast, report to the ranger station for registration and briefing by one of the ranger guides. The trail takes you through the National Park, immersing you into the mysterious intimacy of the rainforest. Tracking these majestic endangered mountain Gorillas through the lush vegetation of the Virunga mountains remains without question the most moving wildlife experience to be had. Dinner and overnight at the Lodge

Day 3: Transfer to Gisenyi

Transfer from the Volcanoes Park to Gisenyi, at the northern shore is a typically tropical place with swaying palm trees, a lake-side boulevard and lies less than an hour’s drive from the Parc National des Volcanes standing, on a sandy beach lined with swaying palms and colonial-era hotels that exude an atmosphere of tropical languor.

Being a lake shore resort, Gisenyi is ideal for water activities and you can enjoy a boat ride to the islands or even across into Goma, visit Gishamwana Island with its coffee plantation, picnic and campsites or enjoy Lake Kivu with its beach ideal for swimming, boat rides and sun bathing.  Dinner and overnight at the Lodge

Day 4: Gisenyi to Kigali

Transfer back to Kigali to catch your flight back home.
