The Retreat by Heaven

Only in Rwanda can you combine an African safari and experience incredible encounters with two of the world’s great ape species, mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. After a pit stop in the culturally rich Kigali we will take you on an exceptional safari game drive in Akagera before staying in the misty valleys of Volcanoes National Park and watch a gorilla family play amongst the lush green fern, finishing in the lesser known Nyungwe Forest in search of the resident chimpanzee community.

This grand tour of Africa takes you to some of the most game rich regions in the south where you can enjoy a range of safari activities, from game drives to walking and boat safaris before you head east to the lush rainforests of Rwanda to find the mountain gorilla.

Combine the wildlife thrills of tracking gorillas in Rwanda and watching big game in the Serengeti with the sandy beaches of vibrant Zanzibar. An ideal honeymoon or special celebration trip for true wildlife enthusiasts.

Lose yourself in the very best of magical Rwanda and South Africa’s beautiful Cape Town. Go in search of the mountain gorillas of Rwanda in the well-known Volcanoes National Park and explore the lesser known Nyungwe Forest in search of the resident chimpanzee community before flying onto the buzz of vibrant Cape Town. Here you can indulge in delicious gastronomy, visit the vibrant winelands, climb to the peak of the impressive Table Mountain or visit the resident penguins at boulders beach.

Visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial Museum should be on everybody's must-do list when in the area. The memorial is a haunting but stark journey through one of the most savage genocides in history, that took place in this tiny, landlocked country.
