An incredible eight-day escape that will see you get up close and personal with magnificent mountain gorillas, exploring off-the-beaten-track Africa and staying in exclusive eco-lodges. Guaranteed to turn your friends green with envy.

Your adventure starts and finishes in Kigali, Rwanda, the scheduled safaris departing on set dates and following a set itinerary with a maximum of 10 guests in total (five per vehicle).
