Is a good itinerary. Is an active schedule, but is worth it. If you are not use to altitude and/or hiking, the amount Bisoke hiking will be a challenge (is a hard one). Besides that, everything is really good.

Tracey • traveled in July, 2025
Three of us experienced the 8 Days Uganda & Rwanda Gorilla Trekking & Wildlife Tour on a private tour with Devine Tours and could not fault the care we received from our guide/drive, Ema. There were many highlights and seeing the wild life in their natural environment is incredible along with the Gorillas which was a pinch me moment, but I would also like to mention the local people who were memorable due to their constant big smiles and kindness. It was an adventure to remember and one we will talk about for many years to come. If you are thinking of visiting I would highly recommend a private tour with Devine Tours.

Best time to visit Rwanda
- Spring 2026
Spring makes our 5-day gorilla and golden monkey combinations really shine, especially during April and May when Volcanoes National Park is at its most lush. The twin lakes of Bulera and Ruhondo catch the spring light beautifully, making post-trek visits extra special. Our 8-day primate safari hits its peak now, combining chimp tracking in Nyungwe with gorilla encounters and also research visits at Karisoke. The 11-day luxury circuit draws wildlife enthusiasts with dawn game drives in Akagera and peaceful boat trips on Lake Kivu when temperatures are just right.

- Summer 2026
Rwanda's 8-day circuits combine primate encounters with classic safari experiences, making them ideal during the summer months. Starting from Kigali, travelers head to Nyungwe Forest where clear summer skies make for excellent canopy walks and chimp spotting. In Volcanoes National Park, the combination of golden monkeys and gorillas works especially well, with dry trails that make tracking smoother. Many of our guests choose to explore Akagera National Park, where morning drives deliver big cat sightings, and boat safaris on Lake Ihema bring close encounters with hippos and crocodiles. The luxury 11-day option has earned high marks from our travelers, blending exclusive wildlife encounters with visits to traditional villages, tea plantations and dedicated conservation projects. Our guide Emmanuel stands out for his deep understanding of summer wildlife patterns, and his skill at tracking gorilla families in the drier conditions makes him particularly valuable during these months.

Fall weather sets up perfectly for active touring, with our 4-day golden monkey excursion drawing consistent praise. Morning monkey tracking pairs nicely with afternoon visits to Lake Kivu's hot springs. The 5-day gorilla focus tour really works well now, mixing Mount Bisoke climbs with primate tracking and also village visits. Our travelers often pick the classic 5-day remarkable tour for its mix of wildlife viewing, city exploration and also authentic connections at places like Ibyiwacu Village.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
The 8-day gorilla and lake circuit stands out as the top winter pick in Rwanda. Misty mornings at Volcanoes National Park create ideal conditions for tracking mountain gorillas and golden monkeys through bamboo forests. Starting from the Serena Hotel in Kigali, travelers head to Nyungwe where clear winter air makes the canopy walks particularly good. Many opt for our 4-day cultural tours that blend Genocide Memorial visits with local markets and also wildlife viewing at Akagera. The 3-day gorilla focus works for tight schedules, though winter permits go quickly so book early.
