“To say we had a fabulous time is an understatement. Words really cannot express the vastness or fabulousness of this vacation.”
Rwanda Luxury Safari
Rwanda 
Although a tiny, landlocked country, Rwanda’s clout as a visionary player on the African continent is an example to us all. Having risen above the tragedy of genocide, it is now one of the safest countries in Africa and the 9th safest country in the world (according to the World Economic Forum). Discover everything "the land of a thousand hills" has to offer, from its warm hospitality and spectacular national parks to trekking with the world’s last wild mountain gorillas in their mist-swirled forest habitats.
Luxury gorilla trekking
To meet the gaze of one of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas beneath the rainforest canopy is a profoundly humbling, deeply emotional experience that surpasses even the highest expectations.
A unique perspective
Pay your respects at the poignant Kigali Genocide Memorial, a powerful reminder of Rwanda’s resilience and unwavering spirit, and dive into the vibrancy of Kigali, one of the most progressive and dynamic capital cities on the continent.
Safari beyond compare
Explore Akagera National Park, a beacon of conservation offering a savannah safari experience of breathtaking landscapes and magnificent wildlife, including elephants, lion, hyena, giraffe, zebra and even black rhino that were re-introduced in 2017.

“Everything you did added up to a trip that was not only rewilding, but reinvigorating, regrounding, and realigning. This is the way we want to be spending our time. This is the way we want to be spending our money. Everything we have currently is enough, but what we don't have enough of is time and travel. You gave that to us!”
Embark on a thrilling adventure through the lush Nyungwe Forest National Park, a primate haven teeming with biodiversity.
Experience a luxury safari in Rwanda
Combining wildlife and adventure with a high-value, low-impact eco-tourism model, a journey to Rwanda is experiential travel at its best. The people, the wildlife, the colors, patterns and resilience of this nation make a journey here both humbling and inspiring. If you’re looking for something that is both rare and life-affirming, Rwanda is the place.
Rwanda is totally unique in that the volcanic mountain ranges of Volcanoes National Park are one of just three places on the planet – the other two being the DRC and Uganda - to trek through the rainforest and sit in the presence of critically endangered mountain gorillas. To meet the gaze of our closest primate cousins, who share 98% of our DNA, in the peaceful surroundings of an ancient rainforest is one of the world’s most rarified and moving wildlife experiences.
But a safari in Rwanda isn’t complete without visiting Nyungwe Forest National Park. Known as the Amazon of Africa, it is a must-see destination for the opportunity to track chimpanzees and spot elusive golden monkeys and troops of white colobus monkeys swinging in the trees, their whooping calls echoing through the forests.
Let us show you the most spectacular properties in Rwanda; places that are intertwined with the abundant surroundings, fostering a deep sense of peace and relaxation.
Rwanda luxury safari experiences
Rwanda offers an incredible range adventures to make your experience truly memorable.
Gorilla trekking
Rwanda is one of only three countries globally where you can still see wild mountain gorillas, our closest cousins with whom we share 98% of our DNA. A luxury gorilla trek will take you deep into the untouched wilderness to observe the interactions between family groups in a highly profound, moving experience.
Golden monkey trekking
Discover just what makes the golden monkeys of Rwanda so unique on a guided trek. This rare, inquisitive species finds refuge in the stunning emerald expanses of the Virunga Mountains and Rwanda, alongside Uganda, is one of only two countries to see them up close.
Chimpanzee trekking
There’s something life-changing about coming into close proximity to these highly sentient primates. Take a guided trek through the lush forests of Nyungwe National Park, following the hoots and calls through the canopies, and watch the chimpanzee families as they forage for fruit, groom and socialize
Game drives
Experience a classic safari in Rwanda on a game drive in Akagera National Park, one of Africa's largest protected wetlands and a refuge for savannah wildlife in the country. Ongoing conservation efforts make it a compelling destination for safari enthusiasts and you’ll likely spot leopard, hyena, lion, rhino (re-introduced in 2017) and prehistoric shoebill storks.
Forest walks
Unforgettable sights await around every corner of Rwanda’s lush forests. A stark contrast to many of Africa’s other iconic landscapes, a forest hike envelopes you in larger-than-life lobelia flowers and delicate orchids, tree frogs croaking overhead and iridescent green and red turaco flittering through the mists.
Embroidery & basket weaving workshops
In Rwanda, basket weaving and embroidery are not just traditional arts; they are deeply rooted expressions of cultural identity and community spirit. These time honored crafts are lovingly passed down through generations and play a vital role in the daily lives and ceremonies of Rwandan communities.
