Day 1 | Arrival in Kigali – Rwanda’s Gateway of Elegance
Arrive at Kigali International Airport to a warm VIP welcome. A Deluxe Vacations host will fast-track your airport formalities before you are privately transferred to the refined Kigali Serena Hotel, an oasis of sophistication in the heart of the city. Depending on your arrival time, immerse yourself in Kigali’s vibrant pulse, its contemporary art galleries, bustling markets, and chic cafés, or simply unwind at your hotel. As the sun dips, enjoy a private welcome dinner in the hotel’s gardens, a graceful beginning to your Rwandan journey.

Day 2 | Scenic Journey to Volcanoes – Arrival at Virunga Lodge
After a leisurely breakfast, set out on a private journey through Rwanda’s rolling highlands, where terraced hillsides give way to volcanic peaks. Arrive at the legendary Virunga Lodge, an award-winning retreat perched high on a ridge with panoramic views of the Virunga volcanoes and the twin lakes Ruhondo and Bulera. This evening, gather for a private sundowner with champagne and canapés on the lodge terrace, watching the sun sink behind mist-cloaked mountains. Here, wilderness and elegance blend seamlessly, setting the stage for the encounters to come.

Day 3 | Gorilla Trekking – A Profound Encounter
Awake to mist rising over the volcanoes. Today you embark on your once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trek. Guided by expert trackers, follow trails deep into the forest until you stand just meters from a gorilla family. An hour in their presence, watching a silverback’s quiet authority, a mother’s gentle care, or a youngster’s playful curiosity, is nothing short of transformative. On return to Virunga Lodge, indulge in a complimentary massage at the Ikirunga Spa, soothing your body while your mind replays the day’s humbling encounter.

Day 4 | Golden Monkeys & Cultural Immersion
This morning, track the endangered golden monkeys as they leap energetically through the bamboo forests, their bright coats glowing against the green canopy. Later, connect with Rwanda’s cultural and conservation legacy. Walk in the footsteps of Dian Fossey, learning how her groundbreaking work shaped the future of gorilla protection. Then, enjoy a Deluxe-curated cultural immersion, from visiting a traditional homestead to joining coffee growers for a private tasting of Rwanda’s finest beans. Conclude the day with a candlelit dinner overlooking the twin lakes, a breathtaking moment of serenity at Virunga Lodge.
