8-Day Remarkable Rwanda Gorilla, Primate & Big Five Expedition
8-Day Remarkable Rwanda Gorilla, Primate & Big Five Expedition | Akagera & Apes
Tour Overview
The Ultimate Rwandan Pilgrimage
The 8-Day Remarkable Rwanda Gorilla, Primate & Big Five Expedition is an elite, multi-ecosystem itinerary curated by Akagera & Apes. This signature route provides a complete traverse of Rwanda's rich natural landscapes — from the misty, prehistoric mountain canopies of Nyungwe and Gishwati to the dramatic volcanic peaks of Volcanoes National Park, concluding in the sweeping, sun-drenched savannas of Akagera.
Designed for passionate wildlife enthusiasts, conservation-minded travelers, and luxury adventurers alike, this 8-day expedition captures the absolute essence of "Remarkable Rwanda." Your journey flashes to life the moment you touch down in Kigali, heading south into Nyungwe Forest — one of Africa's oldest protected montane rainforests — to track wild chimpanzees and walk suspended 70 meters above the ancient canopy.
Moving north along the scenic shores of Lake Kivu, you'll explore the newly opened Gishwati Forest for an exclusive look at endangered golden monkeys before reaching Volcanoes National Park to walk the historic paths of Dian Fossey and stand face-to-face with a wild mountain gorilla family. The grand finale shifts your perspective completely as you cross into the rolling wetlands and golden savannas of Akagera for a complete Big Five safari.
