Rwanda
Rwanda has built a deliberately high-value conservation tourism model around mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, with excellent lodges and unusually short transfer times from Kigali.

Travelling in Rwanda
Gorilla permits are limited and priced accordingly, so timing and permit sequencing drive the itinerary. Nyungwe adds chimpanzee and canopy forest, Akagera adds a Big Five element, and Lake Kivu offers a quiet close to the trip.
Rwanda pairs cleanly with Kenya or Tanzania: two or three nights for trekking is often all that is needed, which makes it a strong extension rather than a whole holiday.
Why go
- Mountain gorilla trekking with excellent lodge standards
- Very short transfers from Kigali
- Kigali itself is worth a night for its museums and food
- Clean pairing with an East African safari
