Day 1: Kigali’s Warm Embrace
Your adventure sparks at Kigali International Airport, where a private transfer sweeps you to The Retreat, a boutique haven in Kiyovu. Lush gardens and sleek suites welcome you—sink into a plush bed, the city’s hills twinkling beyond your window. Dinner at Fusion Restaurant is a Rwandan-European love letter, flavors dancing under soft lights.
Day 2: Kigali’s Heart, Then the Wild
Morning blooms with coffee on your terrace, Kigali’s green hills rolling out like a promise. You visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a sobering journey through Rwanda’s past—heavy, yes, but profound, as your guide shares stories of resilience. You’ll leave moved, grateful you went. After a light lunch, a private road transfer (2.5 hours) winds through emerald valleys to Volcanoes National Park. Singita Kwitonda Lodge awaits—stone villas with volcano views, a fire crackling in your suite. Dinner’s a farm-to-table feast, the night alive with forest hums.
Day 3: First Gorilla Trek
Dawn breaks with a ranger’s briefing, your heart racing for the day’s quest. You trek through Volcanoes National Park’s misty bamboo, guided by trackers who know every leaf. Then—there they are: mountain gorillas, silverbacks lounging, babies tumbling. An hour with them feels like a lifetime, their eyes holding yours. Back at Singita, a hot shower soothes your limbs, and lunch on the terrace pairs local coffee with volcano vistas. Evening’s for you—curl up by the fire or sip a cocktail as stars pierce the sky.
Day 4: Second Gorilla Encounter
Another dawn, another trek—each gorilla family unique, each moment electric. Today’s clan might be playful, juveniles wrestling as you watch, spellbound, from mere feet away. Your guide, steeped in gorilla lore, points out their quirks. Post-trek, Singita’s spa beckons—a massage melts the morning’s exertion, the forest’s hush your soundtrack. Dinner’s a candlelit affair, Rwanda’s spices weaving magic as you swap stories of the day’s wild embrace.
Day 5: Volcanoes’ Hidden Gems
Today’s your canvas—paint it with Singita’s offerings. Join a golden monkey trek, their chatter echoing through the canopy, or hike to Dian Fossey’s research camp, where her legacy lingers in the mist. Prefer serenity? A farm tour reveals Singita’s sustainable heart, or yoga on the lawn grounds your soul. Lunch is a picnic by a stream, the volcanoes your backdrop. Evening unfurls with a private fireside dinner, a Rwandan storyteller sharing tales of the hills. It’s wild luxury at its soulful best.
Day 6: Farewell to the Wild
Morning dawns soft, a final breakfast at Singita—fresh fruits, warm pastries, and that volcano view one last time. Your road transfer back to Kigali (2.5 hours) is smooth, the countryside a green farewell. At Kigali International Airport, you board your flight home, with fresh memories of Rwanda’s wild heart.
