About This Tour

This is our flagship cross-border itinerary β€” combining Rwanda's mountain gorillas with Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, finished with a private beach stay in Zanzibar. Two genuinely different, world-class safari experiences in one fully private trip, with every transfer β€” including your business class flight to Tanzania β€” handled for you.

The trip opens in Rwanda with gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park and golden monkey tracking, staying at one of Rwanda's most celebrated lodges. From Kigali, an international business class flight connects you directly to northern Tanzania, where days of game drives across the Serengeti's endless plains are followed by time at Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most concentrated wildlife areas on Earth. Your entire stay in Tanzania β€” accommodation, meals, transfers and activities β€” is fully included, exactly like the Rwanda portion of the trip. The trip closes with several nights on Zanzibar's coastline β€” a genuine change of pace after the parks, at a private beachfront villa or top-tier resort.

Every accommodation on this itinerary is top-tier, every vehicle and guide is private and dedicated to you alone, and every transfer between destinations β€” including the international flight connecting Rwanda and Tanzania β€” is booked and included in the price. This is built for travelers who want the best of both countries without managing a single logistical detail themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

From $61,800 per person for this fully private 13-day itinerary, including the gorilla trekking permit, all internal flights (including the transfer between Rwanda and Tanzania), private vehicles and guides in both countries, top-tier accommodation, and all meals.
Yes β€” a business class flight connecting Kigali to northern Tanzania is included in the price, along with all internal Tanzania transfers to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar. Only your international flights to Rwanda and from Zanzibar are excluded.
They offer genuinely different experiences: Rwanda for mountain gorilla trekking, unavailable in Tanzania, and Tanzania for the Serengeti's open plains and Ngorongoro Crater's wildlife density, which Rwanda's parks don't replicate. Combined with a Zanzibar beach finish, it covers primates, classic savannah safari, and relaxation in one trip.
Yes β€” this is our flagship version, but the Zanzibar extension can be shortened or removed, and the Tanzania portion can be adjusted. Contact us to discuss a tailored version and updated quote.
We recommend 6–12 months ahead. Top-tier lodges in both countries have limited capacity, and securing a gorilla trekking permit for your exact dates requires early booking with RDB.
