Find out what to expect on a 3 Day Rwanda Safari covering gorilla trekking, golden monkeys, Akagera wildlife and Kigali cultural experiences in three days.

Day 1: Arrive Kigali and Transfer to Volcanoes

Your driver meets you at Kigali Airport and takes you north to Volcanoes National Park. Your Rwanda Safari lodge manager then briefs you on tomorrow's gorilla permit and group.

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park

Early morning, guides brief your group before leading you into the Virunga volcanic forest. Your Rwanda Safari peaks during the one permitted hour with a habituated gorilla family.

Day 3: Golden Monkey Trekking and Kigali Departure

This morning you trek golden monkeys before driving south to Kigali for the Genocide Memorial. Your Rwanda Safari ends meaningfully, combining wildlife and history in three days.

Best Time for 3-Day Rwanda Safari

June to September gives your three day Rwanda Safari the driest, most manageable forest trails. Wet season trips mean muddier terrain, so July and August maximise comfort and rewards.

How to get there for 3-Day Rwanda Safari

Fly into Kigali International Airport, which receives direct flights from Nairobi and Amsterdam. Your Rwanda Safari transfer north to Volcanoes National Park takes two and a half hours by road.

What to Carry on 3-Day Rwanda Safari

Pack waterproof boots, long trousers, long sleeves, gloves, a fleece, and a loaded day pack. A Rwanda Safari guest packed before landing handles the trekking demands most comfortably.

Where to Stay on 3-Day Rwanda Safari

Bisate and Singita Kwitonda lead luxury options near your Rwanda Safari Volcanoes base. Sabyinyo suits mid-range guests, while Mountain Gorilla View Lodge suits budget travellers.
