DISCOVER RWANDA IN AFRICA
WITH CHLOÉ
10 NIGHTS/5 STOPS
A country known for its rolling hills full of green vegetation and beautiful lakes and jungles!
She longed to travel to Africa, specifically Rwanda where she discovered a pearl on the continent. Known for its rolling hills full of green vegetation and beautiful lakes and jungles, Rwanda is a safe, clean, and vibrant country where the resiliency of the people and communities is felt ever since the devastating 20th century genocide. Rwanda has reached a point of political stability and wishes to put itself on the international map as a tourist-friendly location that offers a wide range of amazing activities. Our budget for the whole trip was around $ 5320 per person for 10 nights (including food and activities for 3 nights – excluding food and activities for 7 nights). The 3 nights will be spent in a very high end safari lodge. A cheaper alternative is proposed in the trip description.

GOOD TO KNOW
-
Mountain gorillas can only be found in 3 countries on the planet: Uganda, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo. These three countries share the Volcano Park. There are 20 families in total and only 800 mountain gorillas in the world. We saw the Muhoza gorilla family which is led by the largest silverback in the world.
-
The gorilla tracking activity is very expensive but beware that part of the money will go to the gorilla preservation. The $ 1500 is worth every penny.
-
We felt very safe during the whole trip and people are really friendly. However, check your embassy/consulate recommendation before booking your trip to be updated on the country specific situation.
-
The hotel offer is very limited in the national parks and therefore prices are very high. In return, you will enjoy your trip without the tourist crowd.
-
The best season to visit Rwanda is December until March & June until August.
-
This trip includes a very high-end safari lodge, unique and fantastic. This increases drastically the price of the lodging for the trip. An alternative would be Nziza eco lodge that proposes rooms and tents ranging from $ 90 to $ 200 per night with shared bathrooms.
