Itinerary

Day 1: Kigali Serena Hotel

Upon your arrival at Kigali Airport, a representative will greet you and accompany you to the Kigali Serena Hotel. After checking in, take some time to unwind from your travels.

You can explore the hotel’s amenities, including the Sokoni restaurant, which offers a variety of café-style options throughout the day, or Milima Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a view of the pool.

Day 2: Singita Kwitonda Lodge

Start your day with a freshly brewed coffee and enjoy breakfast at Milima Restaurant. Afterwards, meet at the reception for a guided half-day tour of Kigali. During the tour, you'll experience several cultural activities, visit award-winning museums, and enjoy East Africa’s vibrant music and dining scenes.

On the way to your next destination, indulge in a delightful lunch before arriving at the luxurious 5-star Singita Kwitonda Lodge. Entering Singita Kwitonda feels like stepping into a dream. Situated at the base of the Virunga Mountains, the lodge offers an intimate connection with nature, paired with the refined elegance and impeccable service that Singita is known for.

Check into your one-bedroom suite, complete with an indoor and outdoor shower, indoor bath, cozy sitting area, covered veranda, dressing room, minibar, in-room massage space, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and a heated plunge pool.

Relax and savor a delicious dinner prepared by local chefs, featuring fresh, farm-to-table ingredients from Singita Volcanoes National Park’s garden, showcasing the best of Rwandan flavors.

Day 3: Gorilla Tracking

Rise early to begin your Gorilla Tracking experience. The cooler morning temperatures make the hike through the dense forest more pleasant.

Afterwards, return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, and then enjoy some relaxation in your luxurious suite, by the boma, or in the plunge pool.

Later, take an afternoon community walk where you can visit the Ibyachu Cultural Centre or the Red Rock Initiative, followed by a delightful lunch and dinner.

Mel has been exceptional in helping us…
Mel has been exceptional in helping us book our trip to South Africa. She gave me insight about what to do and where to go and put up with my 1000 changes to the trip. I highly recommend working with her and I cannot wait to make it to the actual trip. Im so excited!

Mel was fantastic but do your research!
Mel from Safari.com went above and beyond to ensure that our entire trip went smoothly. We visited both South Africa and Zimbabwe. We had a few hiccups along the way, as we were initially assigned another agent (who no longer works there) and unfortunately gave us high expectations and promises that weren’t fulfilled. She promised us a Ngala / Sabi safari type of experience in South Africa but booked us a lodge called Kusudalweni (which was no where near that type of experience! The service, food, location, and planned activities were all beyond disappointing. Would definitely avoid this place!!). Mel was not familiar with this lodge and unfortunately just followed along the previous agent. Mel tried her best to arrange another lodge and offer us other game drives but unfortunately the lodge was extremely difficult to deal with. Although, she organised the lodge in Zimbabwe and that was incredible! She was extremely responsive throughout our entire trip and ensured to contact our hotels, guides, etc. anytime we had a problem, it was such a relief to not have to worry about any of the hassle while we were there. My biggest recommendation is making sure to do your research about the lodges / hotels that are offered and see if they align with the type of “luxury” experience you are expecting. Mel was definitely great at ensuring we knew exactly what we were getting and I would definitely recommend requesting her specifically. Mel deserves a 5 star rating but unfortunately, due to the issues we had with the previous agent at this company, I had to give it an overall 4 star review.
