Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival For Rwanda Primates Safari

Today you arrive for your 6 day Rwanda primates’ safari. Our driver guide will be at the airport to pick you up and transfer you to your hotel after which you take on a Kigali city tour depending on your arrival time. Some of the sites to visit include Kigali genocide memorial, Kandt Museum and the craft market. If your arrival is in the morning or early afternoon you will start on city tour before transfer to your hotel and if arrival is late afternoon then you will be directly transferred to your hotel.

Drive time – 20 minutes
Day 2: Transfer To Nyungwe Forest National Park

The journey from Kigali to Nyungwe forest national park will keep you awake as you enjoy the various scenery. Nyungwe forest is located in southern Rwanda en route to Burundi and some parts of the Congo. The tour to Nyungwe forest will start early morning after your breakfast with our first short stopover in Nyanza before proceeding to Huye to tour the ethnographic museum. In Nyanza district there is an opportunity to visit the Kings Palace museum which is an alternative to the ethnographic museum. You can discuss with your driver guide on which of the museums to stop at depending on your interests. They both share Rwanda’s cultural history but the ethnographic museum has more items and wide coverage. Arrive in Nyungwe forest later in that evening and proceed to our lodge for overnight.

The place’s were overwhelming. It felt mesmerising connecting to the nature and people,both, in their truest and purest form. People were extremely affectionate and hospitable

Knowledgable, fun, smart, kind guides made our Nature Journaling safari with Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris a terrific experience. They went at our pace (slow enough to do artwork in the field and geek out on science) and kept us safe while having a great time
