From the very first email through the final day of our trip, their team delivered an exceptional, seamless and deeply thoughtful travel experience in Rwanda. They handled every detail of our itinerary with precision and care. A truly five-star company in every sense.
Christine L. United States · 7 Days Luxury Rwanda Primate and Wildlife Safari
Throughout the booking process and whilst on safari, Réginal was available night and day to answer any questions, and even met us whilst we were on safari to check we were having a good time. Booking direct was cheaper and meant we supported a local business.
Sophie L. Australia · 14 Days Rwanda and Tanzania Primates and Wildlife
Seventeen days visiting all of Rwanda’s national parks, doing both gorilla and chimp trekking. He had great recommendations and really understood exactly what I wanted. Rwanda is now very near and dear to my heart, and I will definitely be back.

Good questions

Answered before you ask

How many days do I need in Rwanda?
Three days is enough for a gorilla trek with a night either side. Six to eight days lets you add Akagera for the Big Five or Nyungwe for chimpanzees and the canopy walk, without rushing. Ten days covers the country properly. Tell us how long you have and we will tell you what actually fits.
What does a Rwanda trip cost?
Our Rwanda itineraries run from around $1,330 per person for a three-day Akagera wildlife safari to roughly $5,600 for eight days across four parks. The single biggest variable is the gorilla permit, currently $1,500 per person, followed by your lodge tier. Your quote will itemize all of it.
When is the best time to visit Rwanda?
Rwanda is a year-round destination. The long dry seasons, June to September and December to February, give the easiest trekking and the best game viewing. The green season is quieter and better value, with short afternoon showers rather than washouts.
Is Rwanda safe, and do I need a visa?
Rwanda is consistently ranked among the safest countries in Africa and Kigali is a modern, well-run capital. Most nationalities, including US and UK passport holders, receive a visa on arrival. You will have a private driver-guide throughout and a direct line to our team.
Can I combine Rwanda with Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania?
Yes, and many travelers do. Rwanda’s neighbours are one to two flight hours away, so a gorilla trek pairs naturally with Uganda’s chimpanzees, the Maasai Mara or the Serengeti. Say so on the form and we will price the combination.
How does payment work?
Planning is free and there is no payment to get an itinerary. Once the plan is right, a deposit secures your permits and lodges, and the balance is due before travel. The exact schedule is in writing before you commit to anything.
