Description

A 9 day safari which starts and finishes in Kigali. This safari can also be done on a private basis. [One PNV gorilla permit is included in the cost but the other gorilla tracking requires a supplement to be paid at time of booking.]

This safari lets clients discover the best of Rwanda. It starts with the wildlife and birds in Akagera in the east with its beautiful wetland savannah. The highlight of the safari is, of course, tracking the mountain gorillas in Parc National des Volcans (PNV) in the Virunga volcanoes in the northwest. This safari offers an opportunity to track gorillas twice. PNV in Rwanda has five habituated gorilla families and tracking most groups in the afro-montane forest usually takes only a few hours. You can also climb a volcano, visit the remains of Dian Fosseyâ€™s grave and the endangered golden monkey. You continue to Nyungwe, in southern Rwanda, a massive afro-montane forest, the largest in Central Africa. The forest has 13 primate species including chimpanzee and large groups of colobus monkeys. Other attractions are 300 bird species and a variety of orchids and butterflies.

Clients stay 2 nights in Akagera Lodge, 3 nights at Volcanoes Virunga Lodge and 3 nights at ORTPN Resthouse on the western edge of the Nyungwe Forest.
