The "Wild Encounters In Rwanda" trip starts and ends in Kigali. It is a wildlife trip that takes 8 days taking you through Kigali, Volcanoes National Park and Akagera National Park in Rwanda. "Wild Encounters In Rwanda" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Embark on an unforgettable expedition to track mountain gorillas and golden monkeys, in the rainforest of Rwanda. Visit a research centre set up by Dr. Dian Fossey, who spent 18 years studying gorillas in the Virunga Mountains with support from National Geographic, and get up close to these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Set out in search of the “big five”—lions, leopards, elephants, and Cape buffalo—while on safari in Akagera National Park, while learning about the incredible conservation efforts that brought this onetime battleground back from disaster.
