A wilderness safari in Rwanda is a journey into raw, untamed beauty where nature writes the script. In the mist-draped jungles, chimpanzees call from the canopy as ancient trees tower overhead, while the open plains reveal lions, elephants and giraffes moving freely against golden horizons. Far from the noise of the modern world, Rwanda’s wilderness invites you to slow down, breathe deep and experience the wild the way it was meant to be — pure, powerful and profoundly humbling.
Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, our guide will warmly welcome you. You will then be driven to your hotel and enjoy your first night at your own pleasure.
At the Kigali Genocide Memorial, you will get to know all about the country’s recent history – the genocide – through testimonies and images. Later, you will visit the community where you will learn about Rwanda’s cultural uniqueness through handmade products and their impact in reconciliation. Thereafter, lunch at Pension Plaza down town. A round in the city center and free zone area will explain you why Rwanda is the fastest growing economy in the world and the cleanest country in Africa. Dinner at your hotel.
After a leisurely breakfast at your hotel, you will be driven to Akagera National Park which covers 2500 km² of savannah west of the Kagera River, in the north-east of Rwanda. The park has a variety of wildlife and is a habitat for over 500 different species of birds. Herds of elephant and buffalo emerge from the woodland to drink at the water sources. You might stumble across a leopard, a spotted hyena or even a lion. Giraffe and zebra flaunt the savannah, and more than a dozen types of antelope inhabit the park. You will have lunch and in the afternoon, go for a long game drive. You will stay at your booked lodge from where you will enjoy your evening meal.
After breakfast, you will go for a morning game drive. You should watch out for lions, leopards, elephants, antelopes and many more. After the game drive, you will have lunch. Later in the afternoon, you will go for a boat ride on Kagera River where you will come across hippos and crocodiles. Thereafter you will return to your lodge for dinner.
Early in the morning, we will sit in a boat and follow Lake Kivu local fishermen who will show us how they use traditional techniques to trap fish. The small fish called sambaza make a daily sauce for residents of Karongi. Very testy and healthy indeed. You should try them. After lunch, we will drive through the Congo Nile crest and follow the road to Musanze and stay at Red Rocks Rwanda, an indigenous Rwandan village in the countryside.
You will enjoy breakfast with the local community in the Rocks Cultural Village where you should interact with the Rwandan Culture through local industry, weaving, cuisine and dance. The Intore were known for their remarkable technique allowing them to jump over 2 metres. The warriors’ dance is a jewel of Rwandan heritage. Dressed in man made sisal fibre tied at the ankles, little bells jingle at each step, giving the warriors’ dance a thrilling rhythm. Through the Intore ballet, physical confrontation turns into artistic rivalry culminating in a vigorous hug of the warriors. This is the most artistic gesture of friendship mutual aid and protection. Through this cultural experience, you will be taken through the traditional and authentic wedding and practices and catch a glimpse of the long time lifestyle of the Rwandan people.
