Day 1: Kigali to Gorilla Trekking & Lake Kivu

Begin with an early pickup from your hotel or the airport in Kigali. Travel north through Rwanda’s scenic countryside to Musanze, home to the famous Volcanoes National Park.

After a briefing from park rangers, begin your once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trekking adventure. Hike through dense rainforest in search of a habituated gorilla family. The trek may take a few hours, but the moment you come face-to-face with these incredible animals makes it all worthwhile.

Spend one unforgettable hour observing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat—watching them feed, play, and interact just meters away.

After the trek, enjoy lunch before continuing your experience with a visit to Gorilla Guardians Village. Immerse yourself in Rwanda’s rich culture through traditional dance, storytelling, and hands-on local experiences.

In the afternoon, transfer to Gisenyi, a beautiful lakeside town on Lake Kivu. Check into your accommodation and unwind by the lake after an adventurous day.

Day 2: Lake Kivu Boat Cruise, Coffee Experience & Hot Springs

After breakfast, set out for a scenic boat cruise on Lake Kivu, one of Africa’s Great Lakes. Cruise across calm waters to Cyimbiri in Rutsiro District, surrounded by lush green hills and stunning landscapes.

At Cyimbiri, enjoy a hands-on coffee experience—a highlight for many travelers. Learn how Rwandan coffee is traditionally made, from roasting beans over fire to grinding and brewing. Taste fresh, locally produced coffee while enjoying breathtaking lake views.

Return by boat to Gisenyi for lunch.

In the afternoon, visit the famous Nyamyumba Hot Springs. Relax in the natural warm waters, known locally for their soothing and therapeutic qualities.
