An Unforgetable Journey Though Rwanda
Traveling in February 2026, our experience in Rwanda was extraordinary, thanks entirely to our guide and driver. From the moment Anna and Gerard greeted us at the airport, we knew we were in the best hands. EAST handled every detail with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care, allowing us to simply enjoy the beauty and culture of this remarkable country. EAST organized two unforgettable gorilla treks and one golden monkey trek in the Volcanoes National Park. EAST's knowledge of the parks, procedures, wildlife, and local conservation efforts added to our experience. Our time in Akagera National Park was equally impressive. EAST arranged two game drives, where we saw a variety of wildlife and learned so much about the park’s history, restoration and ecology. Gerard's sharp eye identified lots of wildlife and his expertise made the experience both exciting and educational. Beyond the parks, Anna took us to the Kigali Genocide Memorial and helped us understand this difficult chapter in Rwanda's history. Gerard also took us to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Center, and a local cultural center, each visit thoughtfully planned and deeply impactful. EAST seamlessly managed all hotels and meals throughout the trip. Every accommodation was excellent, every meal delicious, and every transition effortless. We never had to worry about a thing. This was more than a tour—it was a beautifully curated journey led by people who clearly love their country and take immense pride in sharing it with others. I cannot recommend EAST highly enough. If you’re planning a trip to Rwanda, do yourself a favor and book with EAST. They customized our trip according to our requests, answered all my questions in advance, and helped us navigate our travel. You will not regret going to Rwanda and seeing the mountain gorillas in their habitat. It is an experience of a lifetime.
Response from the operator: Dear Opheria, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review of your experience with East Africa Safaris. We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that you and Emma had such an unforgettable journey through Rwanda. It was a pleasure welcoming you both, and we’re so happy to know that you enjoyed the gorilla and golden monkey trekking, Akagera game drives, cultural experiences, and the arrangements throughout your trip. Thank you for choosing East Africa Safaris and for trusting us to be part of your Rwanda adventure. We truly appreciate your feedback and the time you took to share your experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and Emma back to East Africa again in the future! Warmest regards, East Africa Safaris Team

Magical East African adventure with East Africa Safari Tours Rwanda.
Anna went above and beyond. She was not only a professional guide but also deeply knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and culture. Gerrard our driver was incredibly kind, patient and always made us feel safe and comfortable. We explored Akagera National Park in Rwanda and did Gorilla trekking in Uganda - both were magical experiences that were well organised and seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend East Africa Safari Tours for anyone looking for a well planned, authentic and personalized East African adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your adventures in Akagera and Uganda were magical and seamless. It was a pleasure to be part of your journey, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you on another East African adventure soon!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives cost?
+
Prices start at $8,050 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives take?
+
Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.
Is 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kigali?
+
On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kigali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kigali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Private transportation; Breakfast; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kigali. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 10 Day Best of Rwanda Safari: Gorillas, Chimps and Game Drives wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
