    Rwanda, Burundi, Congo safari

    We enjoyed very much the whole itinerary which was perfectly prepared and tailored made for us by Darius. He was also our tour guide. All went perfectly which is not that easy in countries like Burundi or DR Congo. Darius is a very knowleageable person, he did an excellent job. Me and my son are very much interested in the modern history of this region which has been and still is not always easy, Darius was always helpful to discuss and answer all questions we had. We also enjoyed the beauty of these countries during safari, treks (like the one on volcano Bisoke) not mention mountain gorillas. We can’t recommend his services for true fans of Africa.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much dear Maciej! Traveling with you made me comfortable, especially the humanity I saw in you (we traveled as a family) and this helps us enjoy the summer in all three countries. We'll be happy to see you back in Rwanda!

    Amazing 21 days Rwanda and Congo

    Your tour operator to go when doing anything in Rwanda! Darius helped us with everything which was necessary since covid is still #&@&@&%€= the world. We did the gorilla trekking together with me and my buddy and Darius, we went the chimpansees, the canopy walk(do the long ones The hikes there are beautifull!) a couple of hikes around gisenyi (lake kivu to relax after the gorillas). agera national park and kigali. Darius organised a 4x4 so we could go to the akagera NP. When visiting the akagera park also visit lake muhazi (king fisher hotel) is a pretty lake where thr locals party at saturday and sunday. The bbq is really good. Even during corona Darius made sure all the tests were on time so we could do all the activities as planned. Again Darius thanks for the warm welcome and all your help! Dont forget to make pancakes for the wife and little ones at home!! Lots of love

    Response from the operator: Best friends ever, man, Mike and you were so special, I have learned many things from you, the local communities around every place we visited can testify about your sociability, kindness, etc. My family will never forget the pancakes and most important the best memories we had in Gisenyi town. We will be happy to host the best people like you in Rwanda before the end of this year! Peace

    Amazing experience in Rwanda|

    We visited Rwanda on our holiday. Usalama Tours did a great job organizing the whole trip. We got the opportunity to visit the whole country during our stay; from Kigali, Akagera National Park, to Lake Kivu and the northern parts. Along we had experienced guides and skilled drivers. Very much recommended!

    Response from the operator: hello, It was our big pleasure to host you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay!

    11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.

    How much does 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5,200 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 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 264 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 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours?

    +

    Around 1 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 264-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours 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 11 Days Rwanda Budgeted Safari - Gorillas & Wildlife Tours?
