About This Rwanda Tour Package

The Premium Rwanda Safari Circuit is a 9-day, 8-night Rwanda tour package from $15,000 per person, part of our Mid-Range tier. The same complete nine-day Rwanda circuit — Akagera, Nyungwe, Lake Kivu and mountain gorilla trekking — upgraded throughout to premium tented camps and lodges for travelers who want extra comfort without stepping into the full luxury tier.

Day by day, this Rwanda safari package unfolds as follows. On Day 1, check in to a premium hotel in Kigali. On Days 2-3, premium tented camp with game drives and a boat safari. On Days 4-5, premium forest lodge with chimpanzee trekking and the canopy walkway. On Days 6-7, premium lakeside lodge with a coffee tour and relaxation. On Day 8, drive to the Volcanoes region and trek to visit a mountain gorilla family. On Day 9, transfer back to Kigali for departure.

Like every Rwanda tour package on this site, the Premium Rwanda Safari Circuit is priced per person and includes gorilla + chimp permits, private vehicle & driver-guide, 8 nights full-board premium lodges, and all park fees, activities & transfers, with no hidden fees added after booking. A 60% deposit ($9,000) 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.
