After breakfast at 08:00 am, begin your Rwanda Safari tour with a Kigali city excursion, followed by a scenic drive to Musanze with photo stops along the way (approx. 2h30min). Upon arrival, check in at your lodge and enjoy lunch. Later, head to the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village.
The Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village transforms traditional livelihoods into meaningful tourism by sharing rural heritage, customs, and daily life. Once reliant on bushmeat and poaching, the community now creates sustainable income through cultural experiences for visitors. Here, you will witness eight traditional dances, listen to Gorilla songs, learn about local food preparation, visit a traditional healer, explore the king’s residence, and hear fascinating folktales.
After this enriching cultural experience, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight. Overnight at Da Vinci Gorilla Hotel.

Today begins with an early 06:00 am transfer to the Volcanoes National Park headquarters for a Gorilla Trekking briefing at 7:00 am, followed by the trek starting at 8:00 am.
Volcanoes National Park safeguards the towering slopes of this majestic mountain range and shelters the endangered mountain gorillas alongside a rich blend of montane ecosystems — from bamboo and evergreen forests to open grasslands, swamps, and heath. The highlight of the day is spending an unforgettable hour with these gentle giants, observing them feed, play, nurture their young, and carry on with their daily lives in their natural habitat.
Overnight at Da Vinci Gorilla Hotel.
