7 days in Rwanda
Two ways to see
I built these around what works, a pace that lets you see a lot without rushing. But every trip I run is different, because every person I take is different.
Tell me what excites you and I will build around it. More time in Akagera and less in Kigali. A Lake Kivu day added. More time in Nyungwe with the chimps. All of it is possible. That is 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 will put together a detailed quote within 24 hours.

This is how a seven day trip usually goes. Every day is adjustable.
Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park can be added on the final morning. Book permits three to six months ahead if you can.
I work with the best properties at every price point. Accommodation is booked as part of your trip. I handle everything.
One of the most special lodges in Rwanda, right at the forest edge.
Beautiful design, private plunge pools and views of all five volcanoes.
Small boutique lodge with great food and warm, personal service.
Inside the national park. Wake to forest sounds and morning mist.
On the lake. Boat access, beautiful sunsets, great seafood.
Inside the park. Wake up to hippos calling across the water.
Great value, views of the volcanoes, clean, warm and well run.
Boutique hotel in Kigali with art, character and a great breakfast.
The permit is an optional extra for Comfort and included in Luxury. Permits must be booked months in advance, so if gorilla trekking matters to you, tell me early.
Yes, that is the whole point. These are ideas, not fixed tours. Tell me what matters to you and I will build around it.
Che or Jean-Claude is with you the entire trip, not just for game drives. In the car, at dinner, walking Kigali markets. You never get passed to a new guide in each town.
Yes. Some of the best trips I have run have been solo. Pricing varies by group size, so contact me for a solo quote.
Easily. The most common extension is Lake Kivu for one or two extra days, or a second gorilla trek with a different family.
Tell me your dates, how many people, and what you are drawn to. I will come back with ideas, availability and honest answers.
