This is one of the best and most wonderful safaris that will provide visitors a chance to see the gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park and then have a taste of the vacation or holiday activities that are done on Lake Kivu. Our 5-day Rwanda Gorilla and Lake Kivu safari begins and ends in Kigali, which is the capital city of Rwanda, and you will be able to engage in gorilla trekking and beach activities at Lake Kivu, which is not far from the Volcanoes national park. All these two destinations are found in one province.
Starting our 5 day Rwanda Gorilla and Lake Kivu safari with a pick up from Kigali international airport by our safari guide who will meet and greet you as well as give you a brief introduction of what you can expect during this safari, you will later get into the vehicle and drive to Ruhengeri in the northern part of Rwanda where the volcanoes national park, the gorillas' home, is located. On this day, you stay at Muhabura hotel or any other hotel around Musanze.
After breakfast, report to the Volcanoes National Park headquarters at around 7 am where you will receive gorilla trekking advice and directions from the aide on gorilla tracking, which is conducted by the park rangers. For your enjoyment, we will do our best to ensure you are healthy and smart for this excursion. Because it gets hot and humid during the day, it's critical to pack good climbing boots, long pants, gloves for protection against stinging brambles, snacks, and plenty of water. You will spend an hour with the gorillas that you will never forget. Return to your hotel later in the evening for lunch and supper, as well as your short-term visit. You can have a wonderful stay on this day if you stay at Muhabura hotel or any other hotel around Musanze.
After having your early morning breakfast, the safari driver guide will pick you up and drive you to the park headquarters to receive instructions regarding golden monkey tracking. It is good to move with your packed lunch since the golden monkeys are active and may end up taking a long time. After that, you will enter the forest in search of the golden monkeys. You will also spend one hour with them. The golden monkey trek gives you a chance to see other richness in the park, including the volcanoes. After that, you will return to the lodge, have your lunch, and now move to Gisheyi, where you will visit the twin lakes of Ruhondo and Burera. You can as well continue to paradise, Malahide, where you will have dinner and your stay on this day.
Drive from Volcanoes National Park to Lake Kivu on Day 5.
You will drive from your lodge and go to explore Lake Kivu and the surroundings. Generally, today you will take a boat cruise on the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery, see a lot of water birds, and swim in the waters of the Serena Hotel Beach before you go and have an overnight stay at Paradise Malahide or any other destination hotel or lodge booked for you.
Our driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you on a sightseeing tour of Kigali, including a visit to the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Center. You will get the opportunity to connect with the locals while looking for high-quality things such as collars, wristbands, and so on before returning to the Kigali airport. This is where your safari will come to an end.
