5-Day Discover Rwanda & Gorilla Trekking Adventure

A well-rounded first Rwanda trip — trekking, lakeside rest and the capital.

Overview
5 Days / 4 Nights

A well-rounded introduction to Rwanda for first-time visitors, combining a gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park with genuine lakeside rest at Lake Kivu and a considered day in Kigali, rather than treating the trek as the entire trip.
