Day 1

Kigali Genocide Memorial & Transfer to Volcanoes National Park

Kigali Genocide Memorial & Transfer to Volcanoes National Park

Your journey begins after a delightful breakfast with a pick-up from your Kigali hotel. Start with a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a solemn yet inspiring tribute to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis. Wander through its quiet gardens and exhibits, gaining insight into Rwanda’s tragic past and the extraordinary resilience of its people. Afterward, embark on a scenic drive to Musanze, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park. The road unfurls through emerald hills and quaint villages, delivering you to Da Vinci Lodge by afternoon. Settle in, breathe in the mountain air, and prepare for the adventures ahead.

Day 2

Bisoke Volcano Hike

Bisoke Volcano Hike

Awaken early for breakfast, then head to Volcanoes National Park headquarters for a briefing. Lace up your boots for the Bisoke Volcano Hike—a 6-7 hour trek that winds through dense forests and volcanic slopes. Your guide will illuminate the trail with tales of the region’s flora and fauna, and with luck, you might glimpse shy wildlife darting through the undergrowth. The ascent crescendos at Mount Bisoke’s summit, where a shimmering crater lake rewards your effort with postcard-perfect views. Pause to soak in the silence, snap photos, and revel in your triumph before descending. Spend the afternoon unwinding at Da Vinci Lodge—perhaps with a spa treatment or a quiet moment savoring the park’s serenity.

Main Destination:
Volcanoes National Park (Gorillas)
Best Time To Visit June to August (It is drier and hiking is easier)

Golden Monkey Trekking & Return to Kigali

Golden Monkey Trekking & Return to Kigali

Rise with the sun for breakfast, then return to Volcanoes National Park headquarters for a final briefing. Embark on a 2-4 hour Golden Monkey Trekking adventure, venturing into bamboo forests where these rare primates reign. Watch in delight as golden monkeys somersault through the canopy, their golden fur catching the light as they forage and play. After this lively encounter, return to the lodge for a hearty lunch, then board your Land Cruiser for the journey back to Kigali. Arrive by late afternoon or evening—ready for your flight or an overnight stay, depending on your schedule—carrying the spirit of Rwanda with you.
