Whatever you’ve heard about a Rwanda safari holiday, it can never prepare you for the exhilaration of the experience itself. As Rwanda specialists we can create and tailor our Rwanda safari holidays to include both water and land based safaris, learning survival skills in the wilderness or just relaxing in the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of the numerous intimate lodges we recommend. Enjoy the low flying air transfers between the lodges, where you will often see animals on the ground as you fly over the expanse of Rwanda. As a finale to your Rwanda safari we can also arrange a visit to the amazing and awe inspiring Gorillas in Volcanoes national park or a game drive in Akagera national park–A highlight of any trip to Rwanda.

If you are looking for a rather different and more relaxed itinerary for your Rwanda safari, we suggest combining the vast, Volcanoes National park (Gorilla tracking) with a boating safari along the winding water wilderness of Lake Kivu.
