  • Enjoy our NEW travel opportunity, where our team of experts will plan a customized vacation for you to destinations across the world. For ideas, look at this and other fascinating sample itineraries (listed under Related Tours).
  • Enjoy spectacular views and stylish accommodations at Sabinyo Silverback Lodge located in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. The lodge offers more than a top quality accommodation. It’s also a power for driving socio-economic development and conservation in the areas adjacent to the Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda (under Accommodations).
  • Visit Africa’s Volcanoes National Park, where the volcanically active Virunga Mountains glow in the night sky and a one-day trek can bring you face to face with a living mountain.
  • Follow experienced guides through the forest to find rare mountain gorillas. Your experienced safari guides will not only follow the primates’ trail, but will help you experience Rwanda’s nature as only experienced outdoorsmen can.
  • Spend one life-changing hour with incredibly sentient mountain gorillas. As only 3 guests are allowed on each gorilla outing, this is a rare and intimate opportunity to spend time with some of the less than 800 mountain gorillas that exist in the world. It is possible to arrange a second visit with the gorillas on your trip.
  • Spot some of the 178 different bird species in Volcanoes National Park, including 13 species and 16 subspecies that are found nowhere else.
  • Track Rwanda’s other famous primates, endangered golden monkeys, through bamboo forests. Not much is known about these very social animals, so your guide will likely be one of the world’s foremost golden monkey experts.
  • Visit Dian Fossey’s grave and learn more about the woman who may have saved mountain gorillas from extinction. Her memorial and research center are within Volcanoes National Park, where she lived with the gorillas.
  • Explore Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, as well as Rwandan villages, to understand the cultures and people that live in Rwanda. Participate in dancing celebrations, basketry and pottery projects and a variety of other every-day village activities.
  • Shop the local markets and villages for a piece of Rwandan culture that you can treasure. Browse colorful and lively stalls full of the work of very skilled and creative craftspeople.
