A Rwanda tour package bundles your vehicle, driver-guide, park logistics and (sometimes) your gorilla permit into one fixed itinerary, instead of booking each piece separately. Prices vary enormously by length and tier — here's exactly what each one actually costs in 2026, based on our current live packages.

1-Day Packages — From $500

The entry point for a Rwanda tour package. Our Volcanoes National Park Gorilla Trekking Experience starts at $500 per person in a shared group of up to 8, covering transport, guide and trekking logistics (the $1,500 RDB permit is separate). For wildlife rather than gorillas, the 1-Day Private Akagera Safari runs from $1,030 per person for a private 1-2 person Big Five game drive.

3-Day Packages — From $2,987

Our 3-Day Akagera & Kigali Safari combines a full Kigali city tour with two days of Big Five game drives in Akagera National Park, including a Lake Ihema boat safari, private 4x4 transport and all park entrance fees — from $2,987 per person for a group of 2-6.

5-Day Packages — From $5,047

The 5-Day Rwanda Wildlife & Primates package is our best-selling tier, combining gorilla trekking with broader wildlife viewing across multiple parks for a 2-6 person group, from $5,047 per person.

7-Day Packages — From $9,270

At 7 days we offer two distinct options: the 7-Day Rwanda Ultimate Safari (from $9,373, 2-6 people) covering the country's full highlight circuit, and the 7-Day Rwanda All-Inclusive Luxury Tour Package (from $9,270, up to 8 people) — genuinely all-inclusive, meaning the gorilla permit and everything else is bundled into that single price with no separate line items.

10+ Day Luxury Packages — From $30,000

Our Luxury Rwanda in a Week package (10 days / 9 nights, 2 people sharing) sits at the top tier — top-category lodges throughout, multiple gorilla treks, and private transport across all four national parks, from $30,000 per person.

What's Included (and What's Not) in Most Rwanda Tour Packages

Every package we run includes a private 4x4 vehicle and a professional driver-guide. Unless a package is explicitly labeled "all-inclusive," the RDB gorilla trekking permit ($1,500 per person, a fixed government fee) is quoted as its own separate line item rather than buried inside the headline price — we handle the permit logistics either way, but we'd rather you see the real total upfront than get surprised later.

How to Choose the Right Rwanda Tour Package for You

If gorilla trekking is your main priority and time is limited, the 1-day or 3-day tiers get you there efficiently. If you want genuine breadth across parks and wildlife, 5-7 days is the sweet spot most of our travelers choose. For a once-in-a-lifetime trip with zero logistics to think about, the all-inclusive and luxury tiers remove every decision except which lodge view you prefer.
