Detailed 2-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Kigali → Volcanoes National Park
Meet your Top Cream Safaris driver-guide in Kigali for a scenic drive north to Volcanoes National Park. The journey (≈2.5 hours) passes rolling hills, villages, and lush countryside that define Rwanda’s landscape. Arrive at your lodge near the park in time for lunch and rest. In the afternoon, enjoy an optional visit to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund or a local cultural village to learn about gorilla conservation and community initiatives. This relaxed day allows acclimatization before the trek. Dinner and overnight near the park.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking → Kigali
After an early breakfast, transfer to park headquarters for a ranger briefing. You’ll be assigned a gorilla family and begin your trek through bamboo forests and volcanic slopes. Trekking duration varies (2–6 hours). Once found, you’ll spend one unforgettable hour observing gorillas up close—watching interactions, play, and silverback leadership. After the trek, return to the lodge for lunch, then drive back to Kigali for hotel or airport drop-off.
