Your Itinerary

Day 1 | Kigali Arrival

Arrive in Rwanda’s capital; elegant, clean, and steeped in reflection. Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial to ground yourself in the country’s remarkable story of resilience. Enjoy dinner overlooking rolling city hills, the soft hum of reconciliation beneath every conversation.

Day 2 | Northern Highlands
Travel into Rwanda’s northern highlands. Terraced hills ripple outward like green waves. In Musanze, visit a cooperative, meet artisans, and learn traditional crafts. As evening falls, mist drapes the Virunga slopes; beautiful, gentle, and full of promise.

Day 3 | Optional Gorilla or Golden Monkey Trek

Begin before dawn. The forest is dark, alive, alert. With expert trackers, follow the sounds; hoots, rustles, sudden silence. Then: chimpanzees in the treetops. Later, walk a narrow suspension bridge above the canopy. Look down and feel how small, and connected, you really are.

Day 4 | Iby’Iwacu Cultural Encounter
Step into the world of Rwandan tradition; drums, dances, hunting songs, and wisdom passed through generations. Iby’Iwacu is more than a show; it’s an exchange. You’ll leave not only entertained, but connected. These stories will echo through the rest of your journey.
Day 5 | Lake Kivu Retreat
Drive west to Lake Kivu, where soft waves lap against palm-fringed shores. Take a boat cruise at sunset, drifting past fishing villages as the water turns golden. Here, there’s no rush;just space to rest, reflect, and breathe.
Day 6 | Return to Kigali
Journey back to Kigali through hills that now feel like friends. A final stop for coffee, one more look at the landscape. Rwanda doesn’t shout. It whispers. And what it says;you’ll carry long after you leave.
