Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, you will be met and transferred privately to Hemingways Retreat.

Spend the rest of the day at leisure, with time to rest, enjoy the gardens, spa, pool, or dinner before the journey begins in earnest.

Begin with a guided Kigali visit, which can include the Kigali Genocide Memorial, local galleries, markets, or a curated city experience depending on interest.

Later, travel by private road transfer to Wilderness Sabyinyo near Volcanoes National Park, arriving in time to settle into your mountain lodge.

Rise early and transfer to Volcanoes National Park headquarters for your gorilla trekking briefing. Trekking time varies depending on the location of the gorilla family, but the experience culminates in a rare hour observing mountain gorillas in their forest habitat.

Return to Sabyinyo for lunch and a relaxed afternoon by the fire or at the lodge.

This morning, return to Volcanoes National Park for golden monkey trekking, a lighter and more playful primate experience than the gorilla trek.

In the afternoon, visit the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund or enjoy a private conservation-focused experience, adding context to Rwanda's gorilla protection success.

After breakfast, depart Volcanoes National Park and travel across Rwanda toward Akagera National Park. Continue into the private Magashi area, where the landscape shifts to lakes, wetlands, open savannah, and woodland.

Arrive at Wilderness Magashi and settle into camp before an evening at leisure or a short introductory activity, time permitting.

Begin with a morning game drive through Magashi's savannah and woodland. Later, head out by boat on Lake Rwanyakazinga for hippos, crocodiles, waterbirds, elephants near the shoreline, and sunset views across the wetlands.

This is the day that gives Akagera its strongest contrast to Volcanoes.

Spend the day on safari inside the private Magashi area of Akagera, where very few vehicles create a more exclusive wildlife experience.

Morning and afternoon game drives search for lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalo, giraffe, antelope, and plains game, with relaxed time at camp between activities.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning in camp or a short game drive transfer, depending on departure timing.

Return to Kigali by road transfer for your onward international departure.
