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, mini bar, 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.

Day 4: Golden Monkey Tracking

Today, prepare for your transfer after breakfast to start the Golden Monkey Tracking adventure. After the viewing these beautiful creatures in their habitat, meet the representative that will escort you for your transfer back to Kigali Serena Hotel.

Upon arrival, check into your room and take the opportunity to relax and enjoy the luxury amenities at Kigali Serena.

Day 5: Departure

Heleen was great
Heleen was meticulous with our requirements and recomendations. We changed a number of times so it was a bit awkward but nothing too much for her. Its not easy booking from abroad but we received all the information we needed and actual booking and payment was simple

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!

Incredibly helpful and experienced agent Anja
Anja was incredibly helpful and organized the most beautiful safari for us at a small lodge and also arranged our transport. She always responded within minutes no matter the day and took time for all my questions. I will recommend anyone who is looking for a premium experience to get in contact with Anja! Thanks for everything!
