Grand East Africa Odyssey

Eighteen days, four countries, two mountain gorilla treks, and the Serengeti at the height of migration season — connected by private charter flights and, in Rwanda, by two scenic helicopter flights over Musanze and Nyungwe. Business class bookends the entire journey. 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 East Africa Odyssey is a 18-day, 17-night Rwanda tour package from $90,000 per person, part of our Luxe tier. Eighteen days, four countries, two mountain gorilla treks, and the Serengeti at the height of migration season — connected by private charter flights and, in Rwanda, by two scenic helicopter flights over Musanze and Nyungwe. Business class bookends the entire journey. 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, 2 gorilla treks across the Rwanda circuit. On Days 7-10, wildlife and gorilla trekking in Uganda. On Days 11-14, luxury camps during migration season. On Days 15-17, private beach villa. On Day 18, departure.

Like every Rwanda tour package on this site, the Grand East Africa Odyssey is priced per person and includes business class international air ticket, both ways, multi-country gorilla & park permits, 2 scenic helicopter flights (Musanze & Nyungwe), private charter flights between all legs, sIM card, VIP meet-and-greet & VIP departure drop-off, and private vehicle & driver-guide in each country, with no hidden fees added after booking. A 60% deposit ($54,000) confirms your dates and secures permits and accommodation, with the remaining 40% due 20 days before travel. This itinerary is designed for Private tour, any group size, and like all of our Rwanda safari packages it can be adjusted further — extra days, a different lodge category, or combined with another itinerary — to fit exactly what you have in mind.
