Go wild gorilla trekking in the forests of Volcanoes National Park, enjoy game drives in the savanna of Akagera National Park and transfer by private helicopter on this luxurious private tour of Rwanda.

Begin in Kigali, Rwanda’s vibrant capital. During flexible private touring, visit local markets and galleries, and tour the sobering Kigali Genocide Memorial, a museum dedicated to the horrific 1994 Rwandan genocide. Other options include a Rwandan coffee tasting, a culinary tour or cooking lesson, and visits to local fashion designers and boutiques.

Next, visit Akagera National Park, a beautiful expanse of savanna, wetlands, lakes and hills in eastern Rwanda. Stay at a luxurious safari lodge on the banks of Lake Rwanyakazinga. During unforgettable morning and afternoon game drives, look for members of the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and Cape buffaloes—as well as zebras, giraffes, baboons and various antelope species. Also spot some of the 400-plus bird species living in the area. If desired, enjoy a water safari on the lake to look for hippos, crocodiles and land mammals coming to the water to drink.

Continue by private helicopter to Volcanoes National Park, a spectacular landscape of volcanic peaks in the Virunga Mountains that’s the natural habitat of mountain gorillas and was the base for celebrated gorilla researcher Dian Fossey. Stay in a lodge with views of the beautiful volcanoes and surrounding countryside. Track gorilla families during morning hikes, and perhaps also glimpse golden monkeys and other native species. During leisure time, enjoy activities such as visiting a local community, seeing a nursery used in reforestation projects, going on birding walks, hiking in the mountains and visiting Dian Fossey’s research camp.

Return by private helicopter to Kigali, where you will be assisted to your international flight.

Upon request, we can further customize this private Rwanda tour to include scenic helicopter flights, philanthropic activities and private dining experiences. This tour can also be incorporated into a multicountry tour that combines destinations elsewhere in Africa or Europe.
