African Sojourns - Rwanda - Gorillas, Chimps and Wildlife

Have you ever imagined coming face to face with a mountain gorilla?  It is now possible to view these beautiful mammals in their natural environment in the mountain forests of equatorial Africa. An adventure like this is one of the ultimate wildlife experiences and is most definitely a bucket list trip!  The best trekking experiences are in Uganda and Rwanda. 

This 10 night sojourn offers you the chance to explore the history and cultural markets of Kigali before heading to the magnificent forests of Rwanda. You have a full day/ 2 nights to go gorilla tracking in the forests of the Volcanoes National Park before exploring Lake Kivu where you can enjoy a boat trip and a cycle ride. Two nights are then spent in the southern part of the country where you can enjoy a day of chimp tracking and experiencing the canopy walk high above the forest. Your final two nights are spent in the eastern side of the country in the Akagera National Park.

The Rwanda is a landlocked East African country whose green, mountainous landscape has earned it the nickname “Land of a Thousand Hills.” Its renowned Volcanoes National Park is home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Bordering Congo and Uganda, the park encompasses 4,507m-tall Mt. Karisimbi and 4 other forested volcanoes. Kigali, the nation's sprawling capital, has a vibrant restaurant and nightlife scene.
