ITINERARY INSPIRATION
From trekking volcanic trails to close encounters with silverback gorillas, our Africa travel specialists will create the itinerary of a lifetime for your tailor-made Rwanda holidays.
THE CAPITAL OF THE ENDANGERED MOUNTAIN GORILLAS
Few wildlife encounters compare to the awe-inspiring experience of coming face-to-face with a wild mountain gorilla. In our ever-changing world, only a handful of places remain where these majestic creatures can be seen roaming in their natural habitat, and Rwanda is among the most extraordinary.
These magnificent giants inhabit a world of mist-shrouded forests, nestled within the emerald slopes of Rwanda’s remarkable Volcanoes National Park. Cemented in history by Dian Fossey’s groundbreaking work living amongst the apes, the park is now the world’s leading destination for gorilla trekking. No luxury holiday to Rwanda would be complete without venturing into the dense jungle trails of the park, a challenge that calls for a touch of stamina, but rewards with an extraordinary encounter: a moment spent just metres from a mighty silverback, peacefully watching over his family in the shadowed forest. For those who are looking for truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that lingers long after your holiday comes to an end, Rwanda is the answer.
While many travellers journey to Rwanda with the hope of meeting the imposing mountain gorilla, there is far more to discover in this lush, jungle-shrouded country. For those seeking extraordinary wildlife encounters, travel to Akagera National Park to spot the Big Five on safari across its sweeping savannah or visit Nyungwe National Park, one of Africa’s largest, unspoilt rainforests, offers the chance to see playful chimpanzees swinging through the canopy, colourful orchids scattered across the forest floor, and a rich array of birdlife flying overhead.
Most of our tailor-made holidays begin or end in Rwanda’s vibrant capital, Kigali. The city offers a compelling blend of history and modern culture, from the poignant Genocide Memorial to a thriving culinary scene. Meanwhile, a trip to Lake Kivu reveals rural Rwanda at its most serene, where verdant hills roll down to peaceful shores, and country life unfolds at an unhurried, enchanting pace.
