Return to the lodge for lunch and a short time to relax before your afternoon adventure. Later, embark on a scenic boat cruise along the legendary Nile River towards the base of the mighty Murchison Falls. Along the riverbanks, spot hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, and waterbucks gathering at the water’s edge. The cruise ends near the base of the falls, where you will begin a guided hike to the top for breathtaking views of the Nile squeezing powerfully through a narrow gorge before crashing below.

Exploring Rwanda’s cultural roots was truly enriching! From the King’s Palace Museum to the Ethnographic Museum, every stop offered powerful insight and learning. I had the pleasure of experiencing it all with 49 students—and as a teacher, I found myself learning just as much. We wrapped up the day with a lovely lunch and great conversations. Special thanks to Gorille Africain Tours for their smooth coordination—highly recommended for school trips and educational tours!

Competent time manager
What a day to remember in Kigali! I had the joy of exploring this beautiful city with 50 of my amazing students. We visited the Campaign Against Genocide Museum, strolled through the serene Nyandungu Eco Park, and enjoyed a delicious lunch and guided tour at Umusambi Village — a perfect blend of history, nature, and reflection. Beyond our own tour, I also had the pleasure of coordinating several school trips with Gorille Africain Tours — and every single one was smooth, enriching, and professionally handled. Highly recommend them for educational and group experiences. Truly an exceptional experience from start to finish!
