A Detailed 9-Day Rwanda And Zanzibar Itinerary
Cultural Kickstart
On a private city tour, you will learn about the lesser-known aspects of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, which has a brief but rich history. The Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, the Kandt Natural History Museum, and the many artisan centers and curio shops ensure that visitors of all interests will find something to their liking. Enjoy a traditional Kigali meal at one of the city’s many eateries the night before you depart for the tranquillity of the mountains.
At Home with the Gorillas
After a short flight from Kigali, you’ll reach Bisate Lodge, an eco-luxury retreat high in the Virunga Mountains. From your stunning suite, you may gaze up at the majestic Bisoke and Karisibi volcanic peaks, which rise distantly through the Afro-Alpine canopy, from the natural amphitheatre that is an eroded volcano cone. As you spend the following four nights tracking habituated gorilla families, visiting local towns, and becoming involved in conservation and forestry activities, you will get closer than ever before to local communities and spectacular wildlife. Without a shadow of a doubt, following gorillas is among the most exclusive and fulfilling wildlife encounters one can have. Experiencing the enigmatic closeness of the jungle at dawn, navigating among drooping vines to witness magnificent Silverbacks and their families in their native environment? It is an experience that is hard to put into words; it is just unparalleled.
Leaving the mountainous Rwanda behind and making your way east to the unspoiled beaches of Zanzibar is the next logical step after spending a few days with curious golden monkeys and fun gorilla families. Island paradise awaits at andBeyond Mnemba after a little detour through the mazelike streets and crowded marketplaces of Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar.
Private Island Retreat
Spend the next four nights on a tiny, freckled island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. With only ten barefoot-luxe bandas, you’ll have the experience of a lifetime living on a private island. With its contemporary furnishings and hand-crafted African materials, Beyond Mnemba Island offers a haven of peace and luxury with breathtaking vistas of white sands lapped by pristine waters. No matter how many times you spend on Mnemba, whether it’s snorkelling, scuba diving, or just lounging on the beach, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience. Before heading back to beachfront dinners under the starry African sky, go on romantic sunset dhow excursions by night. Though it’s quite different from jungle gorilla trekking, that’s exactly why it’s the ideal pairing.
