Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Kigali

    Your driver will meet you at Kigali Airport or collect you from your hotel. First stop is the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center, where you'll pay respects to those who died in 1994. From there, it's roughly a 4 to 5 hour drive to reach your lodge in the rainforest region. You'll be staying in a self-contained safari cottage, so settle in and rest up since gorilla trekking starts tomorrow.

    Start point
    Kigali, Kigali City, Rwanda (Kigali Airport/ Hotel in Kigali)

  2. Day 2

    Volcanoes National Park

    This is the main event. Eat breakfast early, then head out into the tropical rainforest with your guide and packed lunch. After the ranger gives you a briefing on what to expect and safety guidelines, you'll start trekking through the forest looking for mountain gorillas. You might see them feeding, playing with each other, or just going about their day. How long this takes varies a lot depending on where the gorillas are that day, so plan for anywhere from a few hours up to 6 or more hours on your feet.

  3. Day 3

    Volcanoes National Park to Kigali

    Have breakfast, then get ready for the drive back to Kigali. The journey takes you out of the rainforest region and back toward the city, so you'll have time to process what you saw and maybe catch up on rest during the ride.

    End point
    Kigali City, Rwanda (Kigali Airport/ Hotel in Kigali)

    Seeing the gorillas was absolutely amazing and our guide Boaz was great. In terms of the tour itself, it wasn't overly organised, the company asked me for numerous things to confirm our itinerary such as what we had purchased and where we were staying, which is information we thought they should have had. The accommodation was also quite basic, we stayed at the Bwindi Forest Lodge, the staff were incredible and the food was delicious, but the rooms themselves were quite basic and we woke up in the morning to find the toilet had leaked and completely flooded the room and wet our bags, which definitely put a dampener on our stay (no pun intended). We also would have liked to be offered some form of refund for the second day and night that we had to cancel due to coronavirus but were told that wasn't possible. Another thing to note is the 4-5 hour drive from Kigali to accomodation in Bwindi was much more than 4-5 hours. We were picked up at 9am, spent an hour at the Kigali Genocide Museum, but then didn't arrive at the accommodation until 4:30pm. Overall it was good but there is definitely room for improvement.

    My sister and I recently booked an amazing trip to see the last of the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Uganda with an amazing guide Herbert. We decided on Devine because Nicholas was not only prompt with his detailed responses but also had great advice like the cost of permits is significantly cheaper in Uganda than in Rwanda in addition to the many five star reviews. The trip was remarkable filled with exciting activities and some quite sombre like the visit to the genocide memorial in Kigali. Herbert was knowledgeable and took his time to explain the different attractions that we encountered, he was very motivated and enjoyed his job tremendously. The trip highlight was trekking high and deep into the Bwindi forest with our guide Herbert and then coming face to face with the gorillas. The 2 hours or so that we spent close to these wonderful creatures is unforgettable. I am happy that Nicholas booked us nice accommodations just as he'd promised. I was sad to leave and I wished that I had booked a longer trip
