The complete journey
Big Five of the Mountains
What this route is about.
A complete primate and forest route covering Volcanoes, Nyungwe, and Akagera. The deepest possible introduction to Rwanda’s wilderness in a single, privately designed week.
Privately designed
This is a starting point. Bring us your dates and we will privately tune the route, lodges, and pace around the way you travel — nothing here is fixed in stone.
Three ways · pick your tier
Available in three tiers.
- Tier · 01
Luxury.

Mid range.
Premium boutique camps, lighter logistics, same expert guides.
Beautiful boutique camps and lodges with strong character. Shared light-aircraft transfers, private vehicles in-park, the same world-class guides — at a more considered spend.

Budget.
Owner-led design at a measured spend.
Excellent mid-tier lodges chosen by hand, smart group sharing where possible, simpler logistics, and the same people guiding you. Nothing about the wildlife or the care is reduced.
