5 days — Musanze, Twin Lakes, Lake Kivu and the Pfunda tea plantation. No gorilla trekking — a relaxed, scenery-focused circuit on one of only two fixed departure dates this season.
The full day-by-day program is still being finalized, but here is the real experience behind these 5 days:
The gateway town to Volcanoes National Park, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Virunga volcanoes. A relaxed base for exploring the region without the physical demands of gorilla trekking — with golden monkey tracking and the Musanze Caves available as optional add-ons.
Two dramatic highland lakes surrounded by terraced hillsides in northern Rwanda, offering some of the country's best scenery — easy viewpoints and photo stops along the ridgelines, no hiking required.
A working tea estate near Lake Kivu with rolling emerald-green fields, where you can walk among the tea rows, see the factory process, and taste freshly brewed Rwandan tea straight from the source.
One of Africa's Great Lakes, fringed by coffee and tea hills. Free time for a boat trip, a swim, or simply relaxing lakeside — the slow-travel centerpiece of this escape.
Submit the booking form and pay a 30% deposit within 48 hours to confirm your spot on the chosen date. The balance is due before departure.
Your hold is automatically released after 48 hours and the spot becomes available to another guest.
Each booking covers 1-4 travelers, and each departure window is reserved for one family or group only — once booked, that date is gone for everyone else.
No — this 5-day escape is built around lakes, tea country and volcano views, without the steep hiking that gorilla trekking requires. It suits travelers who want Rwanda's scenery at a gentler pace.
