Activity itinerary

Day 1: Depart for Gisenyi and Boat Cruise on Lake Kivu
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Overnight at Kinigi lodge, a 3-star hotel
Lake Kivu
  • 4h
Transfer to Gisenyi and embark on a scenic boat cruise on Lake Kivu. This picturesque journey offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and an opportunity to experience the tranquil beauty of one of Rwanda's largest lakes. As you glide across the crystal-clear waters, you'll have the chance to observe local fishermen at work and perhaps catch a glimpse of the diverse birdlife that inhabits the shoreline. The boat cruise not only provides a relaxing and enjoyable experience but also allows visitors to gain insights into the local culture and ecosystem. Our knowledgeable guides will share fascinating information about the lake's geological history, its importance to the region, and the communities that depend on it. This excursion perfectly complements our eco-friendly approach, offering an immersive natural experience while minimising environmental impact.
Day 2: Transfer to Volcanoes National Park for Gorilla Tracking
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast
  • Accommodation: Not included
Volcanoes National Park
  • 6h
  • Admission ticket included
Briefing for the trackers begins at 7.00am and vehicles begin transporting gorilla trackers to several gorilla trek starting points. If you don’t turn up at the appointed time you risk invalidating your permit and having to pay again. Guests are allocated a gorilla family on the very day of tracking. The guests who feel physically weak are allocated the nearest groups that only require at least an hour to find. Hikes in the mountains can last anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours depending on the family allocated to your group and their location. The journey back can take just as long, but you are often carried along by the euphoria you feel seeing the gorillas!
