Land in Kigali and meet your Wylda Safaris host for a city orientation with optional, respectful stops at the Kigali Genocide Memorial if timing and preference allow. Continue north through terraced green hills toward Volcanoes National Park, arriving to check in at a luxury lodge with volcano views. Evenings include a farm to table dinner and a detailed briefing covering trek fitness, photography etiquette and gorilla family protocols.

Before dawn transfer to park headquarters for ranger allocation and porter introductions ahead of the gorilla trek. Hike through farmland into misty bamboo and Hagenia forest; terrain and trek duration vary depending on the gorilla family location that morning. Spend the permitted hour observing the gorilla family before descending to the lodge for a celebratory lunch and spa recovery. The evening features a conservation talk about how tourism funds protection across the Virunga massif.

A gentler day offering a choice of cultural or natural experiences. Visit the IbyIwacu cultural village or a similar partner community for dance, storytelling and craft demonstrations. Alternatively explore the Musanze caves or take a scenic drive toward the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo for photography and coffee tasting. The afternoon is at leisure for pool time, massage or journaling, followed by a private dinner with volcano silhouettes as night falls.

Breakfast with a final volcano panorama before driving south to Kigali. Use any buffer time for craft shopping in Kimironko market or a quiet cafe interlude before an airport drop off aligned to your flight. Depart having experienced a close wildlife encounter and the landscapes and communities around Volcanoes National Park.
