This 15-day luxury safari is one of our most biodiverse itineraries, blending gorilla trekking, chimp encounters, and Big 5 game viewing across Rwanda and Tanzania.
Start in Kigali, then trek mountain gorillas in Rwanda’s lush Volcanoes National Park. Next, fly to Rubondo Island on Lake Victoria, a pristine wilderness where you may spot chimpanzees, suni antelope, elephants, and giraffes.
From forest to savannah, continue to the Serengeti—timed for the Great Migration, if in season—followed by a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, home to abundant wildlife year-round.
Scenic flights between destinations minimize road time, and you’ll stay in intimate tented camps (max. 10 tents), ensuring personal service and prime locations.
Perfect for honeymooners, photographers, and bucket-list travelers, this seamless safari starts in Kigali and ends in Arusha, delivering East Africa’s most iconic and exclusive wildlife moments.
Your East Africa journey begins in Kigali, Rwanda, where you’re met at the airport and transferred to Heaven Boutique Hotel. Nestled in tropical gardens on a quiet residential street, this charming hotel offers the perfect place to unwind after your flight.
Enjoy amenities like a swimming pool, spa, high-speed Wi-Fi, and award-winning dining at the on-site Heaven Restaurant, known for its locally sourced, Rwandan-inspired cuisine.
With time to spare, Heaven’s concierge can arrange immersive experiences like basket weaving, drumming, or a visit to local markets and villages.

After breakfast, take a guided city tour of Kigali, then drive 2–3 hours to Volcanoes National Park, where you’ll spend the next three nights at the elegant Bishop’s House—a charming colonial-style retreat just 25 minutes from the park gate.
Settle into your luxury suite before preparing for your once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trek the next morning. Hike through misty rainforest to encounter a habituated gorilla family, and keep an eye out for golden monkeys, birds, and butterflies along the way.
Post-trek, unwind with a massage, relax in the pool, or enjoy a gourmet dinner in the garden-view restaurant. On your final day here, tour the impressive Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund to learn about cutting-edge conservation efforts.

Fly from Kigali to Lake Victoria, then transfer to Rubondo Island, a secluded wildlife sanctuary and one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Nestled deep in the forest, Rubondo Island Camp is the island’s only lodge, offering a unique, off-the-grid safari experience.
Enjoy chimpanzee tracking, forest elephant sightings, and the chance to spot rare wildlife like the sitatunga, suni antelope, bushbuck, and spotted-necked otter. Activities include forest walks, game drives, canoe trips, and boat safaris along the island’s unspoiled shores.
Rubondo Island Camp – Fully Inclusive

Fly from Rubondo Island to the heart of the Serengeti, soaring over the dramatic Rift Valley before landing near your next destination: Dunia Camp. Wildlife viewing begins right from the airstrip, with your transfer doubling as your first game drive.
Settle into your elegant tented suite, then head out for an afternoon safari. Spend the next two days exploring Tanzania’s iconic reserve, home to big cats, elephants, buffalo, and—during the Great Migration—massive herds of wildebeest that pass directly through camp.
With just eight tents and a dedicated all-women team, Dunia offers a rare blend of authenticity, intimacy, and superb hospitality.
