Overview
Rwanda beyond the gorillas: seven days pairing Akagera, the conservation fairy-tale where lions and black rhinos have been triumphantly returned, with the inland beaches of Lake Kivu. Big Five game drives, boat safaris among hippos, and sunsets over the water with not another visitor in sight.
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Kigali
City touring at your pace (the moving Genocide Memorial, the craft studios of Kimihurura) and dinner at one of the capital’s superb restaurants.
Days 2–4: Akagera National Park
Three days in Central Africa’s largest protected wetland savannah: Big Five game drives, a sunset boat safari on Lake Ihema and a behind-the-scenes look at the park’s celebrated rhino and lion reintroductions.
Days 5–6: Lake Kivu
Cross the country’s spine of a thousand hills to Rwanda’s inland sea: kayaking at dawn, coffee-farm visits on the terraced slopes and barefoot evenings on the sand.
Day 7: Return to Kigali
A gentle morning on the water, then the lakeside road back to Kigali for your onward flight.
