This 4-day Rwanda safari tour brings together the country’s capital and its most iconic wilderness: Kigali and Volcanoes National Park. Begin with the moving Kigali Genocide Memorial, drive north through Rwanda’s terraced green hills to the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, and come face to face with the endangered mountain gorilla on a guided trek through the misty Virunga forests. An afternoon at Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village adds traditional dance, crafts and the story of how local communities became the gorillas’ closest allies.
Designed for travelers who want the perfect balance of culture and wildlife in a short window of time, this Rwanda trip flows smoothly from arrival in Kigali to history and conservation in Musanze, and finishes with the trek of a lifetime among Volcanoes National Park’s mountain gorillas.
