About This Tour

The Rwanda Safari Tours Package — All Included is our flagship 10-day itinerary, built directly from trips we actually run — not a theoretical package assembled from a brochure. It combines the two experiences most visitors come to Rwanda for: mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park and a full Big Five safari in Akagera National Park, with every night of accommodation, all transport, your driver-guide, and every park fee already included.

Unlike a "from" price that only covers the bare permit and leaves you to arrange lodges, meals and transfers separately, this package is priced to cover the complete trip end to end: private 4×4 and driver-guide for all 10 days, your gorilla trekking permit, Akagera entrance and activity fees, and accommodation at real, proven lodges across both parks — the kind of properties we've actually placed clients at, not a generic placeholder list.

This is a genuinely all-included price: once you've paid the deposit, the only things left to plan are your international flights and personal spending money.

Tour Highlights

Mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park — 1 hour with a habituated gorilla family
Full Big Five safari in Akagera National Park — lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino
Boat safari on Lake Ihema, Akagera
Private 4×4 vehicle and RDB-certified driver-guide for all 10 days
Every night of accommodation already arranged — nothing left to book
Kigali city orientation on arrival and departure days
A real, proven itinerary — not a theoretical package
