Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Volcanoes National Park
100% customisable for you
Your Rwandan mountain gorilla safari gets underway today as you make the journey from the UK to Kigali. The flight time is around 10 hours 50 minutes on an overnight direct flight, arriving in the morning into Kigali.
When you land in Kigali today, head into arrivals where you will meet by a member of our friendly ground team. After greeting you and helping with your bags, your driver will then whisk you to your lodge, situated in the foothills of the mighty Virungas, a chain of 15,000ft volcanoes stretching through Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo with sensational views and access to the adjacent Volcanoes National Park. The drive should take around two hours on good roads. When you arrive, settle in to your luxurious surroundings with a gentle stroll around the grounds, take in some of the views before your first supper in Rwanda and a good sleep before the safari activities kick off tomorrow.
Enjoy your last breakfast in the forest this morning before you make the two and a half hour transfer back to Kigali, where you will spend the night. When you arrive in the capital, check in to your hotel and then tuck into lunch. This afternoon you will then be met for a guided tour of Kigali. As the capital of Rwanda, Kigali has seen its fair share of historic and traumatic events, and your guide will be able to help you understand more about this fascinating and resilient country. Highlights of the tour include the sobering but important Genocide Memorial, the Kandt House Museum of Natural History, some of the lively local markets, and the Inema Arts Centre.
