Rwanda Great Primate Journey

Tour Overview

The route follows Kigali – Nyungwe – Lake Kivu – Volcanoes – 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 Nyungwe, Lake Kivu, Volcanoes. 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. Primate-tracking days are permit-controlled and depend on wildlife-authority rules, permit availability, minimum-age requirements and prevailing trail conditions. 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.
