One gorilla trekking permit at Volcanoes National Park, followed by three unhurried nights on Lake Kivu.
Go beyond the expected.
Rwanda's compact geography makes this pairing especially efficient: a single gorilla trekking permit at Volcanoes National Park, followed immediately by three slow nights on Lake Kivu's shore, with a boat outing and open days rather than a packed schedule.
