Land of a Thousand Hills

Tour Overview

The route follows Kigali – Nyanza – Huye – Nyungwe – Lake Kivu – Kigali. Rather than treating each stop as a simple overnight, the itinerary is designed so the transfer itself becomes part of the experience and each destination has a clear role in the overall safari. Core experiences are built around the landscapes and wildlife strengths of Nyanza, Huye, Nyungwe, Lake Kivu. Game-viewing days are deliberately flexible around wildlife conditions, while transfer days aim to combine an efficient onward journey with meaningful activity on arrival whenever operating times permit. Road timings depend on traffic, weather, road conditions and park routing, so daily departure times should remain flexible. Accommodation properties are intentionally not fixed in this content because the supplied brochure defines the route and overnights rather than named hotels or camps; Sunward can therefore attach the appropriate contracted properties and meal plans in Nexus Travel for each market or rate season.
