A Luxury Gorillas and Rwanda Safari Experience

Due to the arrival time of most international flights, it is recommended to stay overnight in Kigali at the start of your trip. We are excited to suggest The Retreat by Heaven as a fantastic option. This exquisite hotel offers a superb central location and guarantees a truly unforgettable experience. The Retreat by Heaven provides a level of accommodation that is both luxurious and comfortable. With its charming ambiance, guests can enjoy the serene atmosphere and indulge in the hotel's diverse selection of bars and restaurants. Moreover, the hotel boasts a spacious sundeck where you can relax by the pool, basking in the sun and unwinding in style.

Following your overnight stay in Kigali, you will embark on a road transfer to Akagera National Park, where an incredible Big 5 game viewing experience awaits you at Wilderness Magashi. This journey offers the perfect combination of a classic safari adventure without the need to cover extensive distances between the gorillas and the captivating Big 5 wildlife. Akagera National Park stands as Rwanda's sole Big Five National Park and is home to the largest protected wetlands in Central Africa. This lesser-explored region of Rwanda presents a serene and off-the-beaten-track encounter, allowing you to immerse yourself in tranquility.

At Wilderness Magashi, you will find yourself embraced by tented suites, each featuring its own private deck that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding lakes. The level of service provided here matches the expectations of a Wilderness camp—nothing short of exceptional. Wilderness Magashi has successfully struck the perfect balance between authenticity and luxury, catering to the adventurous spirit of the park.

Next, you will continue your journey to Volcanoes National Park, where you will have the incredible opportunity to spend time with the gorillas. Your stay at Wilderness Bisate includes a day of gorilla trekking and golden monkey trekking, ensuring a truly immersive wildlife experience. Regarded as one of East Africa's most luxurious camps, Wilderness Bisate offers an unparalleled level of service. The private suites provided are not only spacious but also exquisitely designed, featuring king beds, viewing decks, and copper bathtubs. The attention to detail throughout the lodge is simply outstanding, adding an extra touch of luxury to your stay. On the final day of your adventure, a road transfer will bring you back to Kigali Airport in time for your return flight home. If your schedule permits, we can arrange a visit to the Genocide Museum, which serves as a poignant reminder of the country's recent history. It offers a somber and reflective experience, shedding light on Rwanda's past.
