Rwanda

Our Rwanda trips focus on sightings of the rare mountain gorillas, of which only 700 remain on earth. Hunted to the point of extinction, the majority of these heavily protected animals now live in the mountains that cross Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC, and a trip to see them is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t soon forget.

We’d normally recommend that you fly into Kigali and do a tour of the city that includes the genocide museum, before transferring to see the gorillas the next day. You can either do this by plane or helicopter from Kigali. Getting to the city commercially is a challenge in itself, but with our private planes at your disposal, you can travel straight in from wherever you are – whether it’s the Serengeti, the Okavango, or somewhere in between.

HERE’S A SELECT SAMPLE OF THE KIND OF LODGES WE’LL TAKE YOU TO DURING YOUR EXPLORATION OF RWANDA:

Bisate Lodge
Bisate Lodge

Located in the natural amphitheatre of an eroded volcanic cone, with dramatic views of the peaks of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcanoes rearing up through Afro-alpine forests. Opulent forest villas maximise comfort and views while adhering to environmentally responsible principles and reflecting the rich culture of rural Rwanda. Bisate is Rwanda’s first genuinely luxurious and eco-sensitive safari camp, centred on Africa’s most immersive wild primate experience.

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge
Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge

The lodge is only minutes away from the headquarters of the Parc National des Volcans from where clients trek on foot to see the magnificent Mountain Gorilla – perhaps one of the most dramatic, thrilling and poignant wildlife experiences possible.
