7-day Rwanda experience
Two ways to see
I built these packages based on what works — the rhythm of travel that lets you see everything without feeling rushed. But every trip I run is different, because every person I take is different.
Tell me what excites you and I'll build around that. Maybe you want more time in Akagera and less in Kigali. Maybe you want to add a Lake Kivu day. Maybe gorilla trekking isn't your priority and you'd rather spend more time in Nyungwe with the chimps. All of it is possible. That's what it means to work with a local guide rather than a booking platform.
Every trip is priced individually based on your group size, travel dates, accommodation preferences, and which experiences you want. Contact me and I'll put together a detailed quote within 24 hours.

The gorilla permit ($1,500 per person) is listed as an optional add-on for the Comfort package and can be included on request. It's included in the Luxury package. Permits must be booked months in advance — if gorilla trekking is important to you, tell me early.
Yes — that's the whole point. These packages are frameworks, not fixed tours. Tell me what matters to you and I'll build around it.
It means Che or Jean-Claude is with you the entire trip — not just for game drives. In the car, at dinner, walking Kigali markets. There's no hand-off to a different guide in each city.
Yes. Some of the best trips I've run have been solo. Prices vary by group size — contact me for a solo quote.
Easily. The most common extension is Lake Kivu (1–2 extra days) or adding a second gorilla trek for different families.
Tell me your dates, how many people, and what you're drawn to. I'll come back with ideas, availability, and honest answers to any questions you have.
