描述

Discover the highlights of Rwanda on a 5-day tour from Kigali. Visit the Ntarama and Nyamata churches, trek to see the mountain gorillas, and explore Lake Kivu.
Embark on a 5-day tour of Rwanda, starting in Kigali and visiting the Volcanoes National Park, Lake Kivu, and more. Trek through the forest to see the mountain gorillas, track the golden monkeys, and explore the lake by boat.

DAY ONE - KIGALI - VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK
After breakfast, visit the Ntarama Church, where mass killings occurred during the 1994 genocide. Proceed to Nyamata Church, where a further 2,500 people were massacred during the genocide.

Be taken to the village of Mayange, where a revolutionary project to reconcile the perpetrators and survivors of the 1994 Genocide by having them live side by side is underway. Have lunch with the locals before continuing your tour of the Reconciliation Village with visits to facilities such as the school and health center, the local plantations, and an art gallery.

Continue on to Musanze to overnight.

DAY TWO - GORILLA TREKKING
After an early breakfast at your hotel, proceed directly to the Volcanoes National Park's headquarters to meet your guides. After completing the briefing, embark on the once in a lifetime experience of tracking the enigmatic mountain gorillas.

There is no guarantee how long or difficult your tracking experience will be as it depends on where the family of gorillas is and on weather conditions. It can take anywhere from two up to six hours of trekking through the mountain forest at relatively high altitudes.

One of the most memorable experiences you're likely to ever have, you'll be allowed an hour of close contact with the gorillas once you've found them. You'll be privileged enough to come within mere meters of a family of these rare and beautiful animals, observing their family dynamics and getting to learn a bit about each gorilla's distinct personality in serene silence.

Once your time with the gorillas is done, return to your hotel for lunch. As an extra activity in the afternoon, pay a visit to the beloved Gorilla Guardian Village to learn more about Rwanda's pre-colonial past. In a series of demonstrations and interactive activities, learn about everything from traditional medicine to warfare to how to hunt.

DAY THREE - VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - LAKE KIVU
Spend the day tracking another of the Volcanoes National Park's primate inhabitants, the beautiful golden monkeys. Trek through sun-dappled glades and dense stands of bamboo in search of these playful monkeys, who are well accustomed to visitors.

This means you'll be able to view the golden monkeys playing, feeding, and leaping from tree to tree as if you weren't there. While your time with the monkeys is limited to an hour, this is ample time to see the inquisitive creatures in their natural habitat.

Once your viewing is complete, return to your hotel to freshen up and have lunch. After lunch, start your scenic drive to Lake Kivu and overnight in the region.

DAY FOUR - LAKE KIVU
In the morning, explore the lake by taking a boat tour.
