5 Day Savannah & Primate Odyssey

This journey is a study in contrasts, a tale of two of Rwanda’s wild canvases. It begins on the golden, sun-drenched plains of Akagera, a realm of savannahs where the Big Five roam. Here, you will chase the horizon on game drives and drift past hippos on Lake Ihema. Then, the canvas shifts. You will ascend into the deep, misty rainforests of the Virunga volcanoes, a land of whispers and giants. This is where you will make the profound, soulful trek to sit with mountain gorillas and witness the flash of golden monkeys. It is the ultimate Rwandan story, etched in both sunlight and mist.

Highlights of the Trip:

• Akagera Game Drives: Search for the iconic Big Five—lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo, and leopard—across vast, open savannahs.
• Lake Ihema Boat Safari: Drift on the water to see vast pods of hippos and crocodiles, with a backdrop of soaring water birds.
• Profound Gorilla Trek: Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to find and sit in quiet awe with a mountain gorilla family.
• Golden Monkey Tracking: Delight in the antics of the lively and rare golden monkeys as they leap through the bamboo forests.
• Musanze Cave Exploration: Descend into the ancient, silent volcanic chambers of the Musanze Caves, a portal to the earth’s core.
