7 days · 6 nights   /   Rwanda · Mgahinga, Uganda

YOUR JOURNEY, AT A GLANCE

Follow the Virunga landscape from Rwanda into Uganda. Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, then a second encounter in Mgahinga, linked by a carefully planned overland journey.

DAY 01

Kigali, softly

Arrive in Kigali and settle in. Your guide reviews the journey, travel documents and the cross-border plan.

DAY 02

To Volcanoes

Travel to the volcanic highlands and settle into your lodge. A quiet afternoon leaves time for equipment checks and rest.

DAY 03

Rwanda gorilla trek

An early briefing followed by a ranger-led gorilla encounter in Volcanoes National Park. Rest at your lodge afterwards.

DAY 04

Across the Virungas

A dedicated transfer day to the Kisoro and Mgahinga area via the agreed border crossing. Immigration, vehicle permissions and entry eligibility are checked in advance.

DAY 05

Mgahinga encounter

A second gorilla trek, this time with Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. This departure depends on Mgahinga permit availability and park operations.

DAY 06

Back to Rwanda

Return to Kigali with time allowed for border formalities. Overnight in the city creates a buffer before your international departure.

DAY 07

Departure, unhurried

A private airport transfer timed to your flight. Add an optional Kigali experience if the schedule permits.
