Day 1
Upon your arrival at the Kigali airport, our team will be there to meet you and transfer you to your hotel, the Heaven Boutique Hotel (a mid-range hotel in Kigali) or a similar accommodation. After a long flight, we will brief you on the next steps of your safari, which begins the following day, and answer any questions you may have. Your stay will be on a bed-and-breakfast basis, which is ideal for those arriving in Kigali in the evening. If you arrive early, you can choose to either relax at the hotel or explore various city activities. These include a city tour, a visit to the genocide memorial site, and a trip to the Kigali market. You can return to your hotel in the late evening after your exploration. Mid-range hotel located in Ruhengeri (City) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
Start your day with a delightful, leisurely breakfast to set a positive tone for the meaningful experiences ahead. Next, immerse yourself in history with a visit to the genocide memorial site, followed by an engaging city tour that uncovers the rich culture of Rwanda. Afterward, enjoy a scenic two-hour drive to Volcanoes National Park, arriving just in time for a delicious lunch. Once you’ve refueled, take advantage of your free afternoon to relax and prepare for the exciting trekking safari that awaits you the next morning, where adventure will begin at dawn. After lunch, you have the option to participate in several activities, including: 1. Diana Fossey Museum 2. Visit to a local village for a cultural experience 3. Hiking Mt. Karisimbi 4. Hiking Mt. Bisoke 5. Visiting the Twin Lakes: Lake Burere and Lake Ruhondo, or bird watching.

Day 3
After breakfast, you will drive to the Kinigi Headquarters Visitors Information Center for a briefing about trekking gorillas in the small but rewarding Volcanoes National Park. Following the briefing, you will embark on your trek to see the magnificent mountain gorillas — one of the most endangered species on the planet. The total trek may take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours. While the search for the gorillas can be strenuous, the experience is extremely rewarding. Later in the afternoon, you will return to your lodge to relax and reflect on your day, possibly writing in your journal or listening to music. As its name suggests, Volcanoes National Park is a vital stronghold for the mountain gorilla and one of only four places in the world where this charismatic ape can be observed in the wild. The park boasts an impressive elevation range, from 2,227 meters at the entrance to 4,127 meters at the summit of Muhabura. Mid-range hotel located less than 1hr drive from Volcanoes NP (Gorillas) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 4
After an enjoyable breakfast, you will be transferred back to Kigali for your drive to Kigali Airport, concluding your unforgettable gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda. Imagine extending this adventure! You can seamlessly combine your safari with a thrilling wildlife exploration in Kenya. Just a short flight from Kigali to Nairobi opens the door to incredible destinations like the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. Alternatively, consider an exhilarating combined safari that takes you through both Kenya and Tanzania for the ultimate wildlife journey. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

5.0/5We had an amazing 10 days camping safari through Kenya. The trip was very well organised and Mambo's food was delicious. Eric took us to amazing game driving where we saw a great number of animals and received many interesing explanations about wild life. This was an incredible and unforgetable trip, thanks to the professionnalism and the good vibes of Eric and Mambo !

We returned home amazed after a 10-day camping safari trip with Eric and Mambo across Kenya. Travelling with them was so easy, so meticulously organised and professional that we felt completely at ease throughout the trip, allowing us to fully enjoy the landscapes, culture, game drives and animals. The entire trip was an opportunity for excellent exchanges and discussions with our guides, allowing us to discover the country and the regions we travelled through in greater depth. Thank you again for this amazing trip!

My trip to Kenya was made great because we used Camptrek Safaris for our Safari excusrsion. Three things remained constant on our trip: 1. They were always on time 2. They kept us engaged in all parts of our trip 3. They were always kind We were a group of 12 traveling with our 96 year old patriarch and they made everyone feel special as if the trip was just for them. The team was top notch and I absolutely had no complaints. If you are looking for a team that will put you first and make you feel special Camptrek Safaris is the team.

We (a family of five from Denmark with age of children being 10, 13 and 15 years) had a very good private safari with Camptrek Safaris. We booked a 4 night/5 day safari that took us to Masai Mare, Lake Nakuru, Naiwasha and Hell’s Gate National Park. Lucy was always very fast and helpful when communicating with her during the booking from Denmark, and she was there to send us off in Nairobi and when we came back after the safari. And our driver, Pili Pili, was exellent. Thank you CampTrek Safaris. This is a trustworthy company. Thanks!
