Notes about this trip

  • The prices shown are based on two people travelling together and sharing a double or twin room.
  • The flight from London Gatwick to Kigali with Rwandair is not daily; chat to us for other route options.
  • Because this trip is based on a private vehicle and guide, costs reduce if more than two people are travelling. Conversely, they increase substantially if one person is travelling alone.
  • It is worth noting that the gorilla treks can be strenuous, but they are taken at a slow pace; the hike could be anything from 30 minutes to around six hours, depending on which gorilla family you visit.
  • An additional new activity to add to your trip is canoeing along the Mukungwa River near to Musanze. With spectacular scenery and birdlife, it’s a peaceful and relaxing way to enjoy the location. There are a couple of faster sections of water during the trip, which add to the excitement, though these can be walked around for those of a nervier disposition. Canoeing trips are also available to the nearby Rugezi wetlands, a great area for birdwatching opportunities. Chat to us for more details on these optional extras.

International flights

Many of our travellers organise their own flights. However, if you're starting in the UK, we can arrange flights to and from Africa as a part of your holiday. Ask us as we design your trip.
