Into the Virungas

5 Days / 4 Nights

Overview

Into the Virungas takes one extra day over Travel Wild’s shortest Rwanda circuit and uses it well: a full additional day in Volcanoes National Park dedicated to Rwanda’s other primate trek, the golden monkeys of the Virunga bamboo forests, alongside a visit to the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. The circuit is based at Singita Kwitonda, one of the finest lodges in the park.

The Journey – Your Itinerary

1 Night · Bed & Breakfast

Kigali blends contemporary development with a strong cultural identity — polished avenues, hillside communities, and a growing café culture built on locally grown coffee. A private meet-and-greet from the airport leads into a guided city tour and a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, Rwanda’s principal place of remembrance for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

THE STAY — HEMINGWAYS RETREAT KIGALI
Rwanda’s first eco-conscious luxury boutique hotel, in Kigali’s quiet Kiyovu neighbourhood.

3 Nights · All-Inclusive

Two primate treks — golden monkeys and mountain gorillas — from Rwanda’s Singita address.
After a Kigali city tour and Genocide Memorial visit, the drive north brings guests into the Virunga Mountains, sanctuary to the region’s mountain gorillas and golden monkeys alike. Singita Kwitonda sits on the boundary of Volcanoes National Park, its suites built as part of a wider reforestation and habitat-corridor project connecting the park to the surrounding community land. One golden monkey trek and one mountain gorilla trek through the bamboo forests, each with rangers, trackers and a porter per guest, plus a visit to the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

THE STAY — SINGITA KWITONDA
Singita’s Virunga flagship, built into a reforestation and community habitat-corridor project.

Transfer to Kigali International Airport for departure.
