My Dec 2024 trip
Rwanda and 1 other country between 7 Dec 2024 and 16 Dec 2024
"Rwanda is a gem of a country.
Clean, well organised, incredibly friendly and full of hope for the future.
The gorilla trekking was the highlight but Akagera also stunning.
We have travelled extensively in Africa and Rwanda is one of best countries we have visited."

"Sabyinyo sits in a beautiful position with amazing views, and feels like a traditional lodge.

Golden Monkey Trekking
"Golden Monkey Trekking review"
12 Dec 2024 • Morning excursion
The Golden Monkey trek is a delight.
It’s an easy trek and the monkeys can be viewed at close quarters.
A good introduction before our gorilla trekking

Gorilla Trekking Safari
"Gorilla Trekking Safari review"
13 Dec 2024 • Morning excursion
We did 2 gorilla treks and we can’t recommend more highly.
Everything is well organised and the guides and trackers friendly and knowledgeable.
The treks were straightforward and the opportunity to spend some time with these incredible animals was the best experience imaginable.
You can also see the positive impact that the park fees have on local communities and the conservation of the park.
Strongly recommend

Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit
"Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit review"
15 Dec 2024 • Morning excursion
This is a sobering and important memorial to the terrible genocide of 1994.
Extremely moving and informative.
An important place to visit to try to understand the horrific trauma that Rwanda suffered 30 years ago
