About This Tour

This is a genuinely well-built two-country itinerary β€” not two separate trips stitched together, but one continuous journey planned for a private group of three from the moment you land in Kigali to the moment you fly home from Nairobi. Six days in Rwanda cover gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, a Big Five safari in Akagera National Park, and a Kigali city and culture day. From there, a scheduled flight takes your group directly to Nairobi to begin eight days across Kenya's signature safari circuit: the Maasai Mara, the flamingo- and rhino-filled shores of Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Park, famous for its elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.

The $40,000 price is a total for the group of three, not per person, covering all permits and park fees in both countries, the connecting flight from Kigali to Nairobi, private vehicles and driver-guides in Rwanda and Kenya, 13 nights of accommodation, and all meals. This is a fully planned, ready itinerary β€” but it's also a starting point: tell us if you want to swap a lodge tier, add a day in the Mara, or adjust the pace, and we'll adjust the plan and the quote before you book.

Two countries, two completely different landscapes β€” the volcanic highlands and rainforest of Rwanda, and the open savannah of Kenya β€” in one seamlessly connected trip.
