Fly from Paris to Kigali, Rwanda's vibrant capital, nicknamed the heart of the land of a thousand hills. On arrival, immerse yourself in the local culture with a tour of the city, including the poignant Genocide Memorial, which offers a deep insight into Rwanda's tragic history but also its impressive resilience and renewal.

This intimate experience will give you a deep insight into the events that have shaped modern Rwanda. Exchanges with locals will enrich your understanding of this resilient nation.

Day 3 - Day 4

Volcanoes National Park

Leave the hustle and bustle of the city for Volcanoes National Park, a sanctuary for the last remaining mountain gorillas. Here, you'll take part in a guided trek through the misty mountains for a face-to-face encounter with these majestic primates. This experience is not only a highlight of the trip, but also a wake-up call to the importance of conserving endangered species.

Day 4 - Day 6

Lake Kivu - Kigali

Continue your adventure to Lake Kivu, where some well-deserved relaxation awaits you. Enjoy water activities, a boat trip, or simply relax by the lake and take in the breathtaking views. Return to Kigali for a final gourmet dinner before departing for Tanzania.

Tarangire National Park

Your first stop in Tanzania is Tarangire National Park, famous for its vast herds of elephants and spectacular landscapes of baobab trees and savannah.
