Grand Conservation Legacy Expedition
A sixteen-day, three-country conservation legacy — with your journey fully bookended in business class and the ground covered, in part, by air. A private philanthropic program with the Dian Fossey Fund, complete with a named gorilla family sponsorship, sits at the heart of this expedition, alongside a second gorilla trek in Uganda and a Nyiragongo volcano trek in the DRC. From the moment your business class flight touches down, every detail is already arranged: a local SIM card waiting in your welcome pack, a VIP meet-and-greet that skips the queue entirely, and — at the very end of your trip — a private VIP drop-off at the airport with fast-track departure. Nothing to plan, nothing to worry about. You simply arrive, and Rwanda unfolds exactly as planned.

About This Rwanda Tour Package
The Grand Conservation Legacy Expedition is a 16-day, 15-night Rwanda tour package from $80,000 per person, part of our Luxe tier. A sixteen-day, three-country conservation legacy — with your journey fully bookended in business class and the ground covered, in part, by air. A private philanthropic program with the Dian Fossey Fund, complete with a named gorilla family sponsorship, sits at the heart of this expedition, alongside a second gorilla trek in Uganda and a Nyiragongo volcano trek in the DRC. From the moment your business class flight touches down, every detail is already arranged: a local SIM card waiting in your welcome pack, a VIP meet-and-greet that skips the queue entirely, and — at the very end of your trip — a private VIP drop-off at the airport with fast-track departure. Nothing to plan, nothing to worry about. You simply arrive, and Rwanda unfolds exactly as planned.
Day by day, this Rwanda safari package unfolds as follows. On Days 1-6, multiple mountain gorilla treks across the full Rwanda circuit. On Days 7-9, a private program with the Dian Fossey Fund, including a named gorilla family sponsorship option. On Days 10-12, a second gorilla trek. On Days 13-15, volcano trek with an overnight crater camp. On Day 16, departure.
