Wander through the colourful city markets, and walk the streets whirling with fruits, vegetables, textiles, woods. Visit the Museum of Natural History with panoramic views of Kigali. Then, pay your respects at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a poignant and powerful site that honors the victims of the 1994 genocide while offering insight into Rwanda's journey of healing and unity.

Head out on an unforgettable journey through East Africa's stunning landscapes to encounter the majestic mountain gorillas. Guided by expert trackers, explore the misty mountains and lush forests of Volcanoes National Park, home to these rare giants. As you search for the gorillas, you will be enthralled by the rich mosaic of the montane ecosystems, which embrace a diverse range of evergreen and bamboo forest, open grassland, swamp and heath. The park's 200 species of colorful birds and chattering of the rare golden monkey will keep you company as you track the mountain gorilla through the forest. Spotting the gorillas may take a few hours or a full day, but the moment you find them, you'll have an hour to observe their fascinating behavior up close. Then, return to camp with cherished memories and new friends, both human and gorilla alike.
