Day 1: Kigali to Nyungwe National Park
Begin your tour early in the morning, leaving Kigali at 6:00 AM for a scenic drive to Nyungwe National Park. The journey takes 5-6 hours but offers plenty to see along the way.

Conclude the day with dinner and relaxation at your lodge, surrounded by the serene sounds of the jungle.

Led by expert guides, this thrilling experience allows you to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as well as other primates and rare bird species. For those seeking an alternative activity, consider a guided Nature Hike through trails like the Igishigishigi Trail, which offers incredible biodiversity and panoramic views.

After trekking, depart for Karongi, a peaceful lakeside town on Lake Kivu. Along the way, admire the scenic beauty of tea plantations, rolling hills, and glimpses of the lake.

In the afternoon, unwind with a boat ride to Amahoro Island, nicknamed the "Island of Peace." Enjoy its serene environment, perfect for birdwatching, swimming, or evening fishing. Alternatively, visit Napoleon Island, known for its fascinating bat colonies and breathtaking views. Return to Karongi for a fresh lakeside dinner featuring locally sourced tilapia as the sun sets over the water.

You’ll also visit Monkey Island, home to playful primates in a lush natural setting. For those who prefer water-based activities, kayaking or a relaxing swim in the lake’s pristine waters is an excellent choice.

Before leaving Karongi, immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting a nearby coffee cooperative. Learn about the process of growing, harvesting, and roasting Rwanda’s premium coffee. Alternatively, visit the Peace Museum, a reflective space dedicated to promoting reconciliation and peacebuilding in the region.
