Your 3 Days Nyungwe and Akagera combined Rwanda tour begins early in Kigali, Rwanda's vibrant capital. Your driver-guide will pick you up for a brief, poignant tour of the city, including the historical Kigali Genocide Memorial. Afterward, you will hit the road for approximately 110km scenic journey eastward to Akagera National Park, which takes roughly 2.5 hours. Upon arrival, you will check into your lodge, unpack, and prepare for an afternoon boat cruise on the tranquil, hippo-filled waters of Lake Ihema. The lake shores teem with colorful birdlife and giant crocodiles. You will return to your lodge for dinner and a peaceful overnight stay under the starry savannah sky.

Wake up before dawn for an immersive early morning game drive. This is the best time to spot predators returning from their night hunts. Traverse the rolling grasslands and acacia woodlands in search of the Big Five, including lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes. You will also encounter giraffes, zebras, and numerous antelope species. After a picnic lunch, you will exit the park and embark on the scenic drive southward to Nyungwe National Park. This journey offers breathtaking views of Rwanda's famed 'Land of a Thousand Hills'. You will check into your lodge for dinner and rest, gearing up for an exciting day of primate tracking ahead.

Today begins before sunrise with an early briefing at the Nyungwe park headquarters before venturing deep into the emerald rainforest. You will spend hours tracking habituated chimpanzee families, watching them swing through the canopy and forage on the forest floor. Afterward, you will embark on the thrilling Nyungwe Canopy Walkway—a suspension bridge suspended 70 meters above the ravine. This heart-pounding walk offers spectacular, bird's-eye views of the ancient forest's lush ecosystem. After this unforgettable experience, you will enjoy a hot lunch at the lodge before transferring back to Kigali for your departure flight.
