Volcanic slopes, a gorilla family at close range, and a capital of astonishing order.
Rwanda centres on mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, the ancient canopy of Nyungwe Forest and the shoreline of Lake Kivu. Kigali, one of Africa’s cleanest capitals, opens and closes the journey. A single permit secures an hour with a gorilla family.
June to September and December to February are the two dry seasons, with firmer trails and easier walking through the forest. The wetter months bring lush scenery and fewer trekkers, though the going underfoot is steeper.

Rwanda is one of Africa's safest and best organised countries for travellers. Trekking is physically demanding at altitude, so a reasonable fitness level helps, and your Travel Designer will advise on vaccinations and altitude precautions beforehand.
Singapore passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival or apply online in advance for an e-visa. Requirements can be updated without notice, so confirm the current process before you travel.
One permit and trek is enough for most travellers, though a second on a following day allows time with a different family. Chimpanzee tracking at Nyungwe pairs naturally with gorilla trekking on the same journey.
