Primate Tours
About This Tour
The Rwanda Signature Private Safari is our top-tier itinerary — built for travelers who want to experience everything exceptional about Rwanda in a single trip, with no compromises on accommodation, access or exclusivity. This is a fully private departure: no joining other groups, no shared vehicles, no fixed schedule beyond what you choose.
Over 14 days you'll complete a circuit of all four of Rwanda's national parks — Volcanoes, Akagera, Nyungwe and Gishwati-Mukura — with two separate gorilla treks visiting different habituated families, golden monkey tracking, a full Big Five safari in Akagera, chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe, and time in Rwanda's quietest, least-visited rainforest at Gishwati-Mukura. Road transfers between regions are replaced with private charter flights wherever they save meaningful time.
Accommodation is exclusively at Rwanda's most celebrated lodges — properties like Bisate Lodge, Singita Kwitonda and One&Only Gorilla's Nest near Volcanoes NP, Magashi Camp inside Akagera, and the finest available lodges in Nyungwe and on Lake Kivu. A dedicated personal driver-guide accompanies you throughout, and the itinerary includes private chef experiences, a Kigali art and culture day, and full concierge planning from arrival to departure.
