OVERVIEW
Game drives and gorilla trekking… Virtually nowhere else on the planet can you combine two of the best and most memorable safari experiences coupled with gorgeous accommodation, delectable food and outstanding service. You start off in Kigali at The Retreat, then settle into Magashi for three nights followed by Bisate Lodge for another three.
This itinerary pulls together two of Rwanda’s foremost national parks – Akagera and Volcanoes – to deliver a high-impact Big 5 safari, tracking golden monkeys, spotting no less than 13 species of endemic birds and, of course, trekking rare families of mountain gorillas. While the silverback keeps a close eye, the little ones may play, females groom one another and they stare into your eyes as their closest ancestor.
