Rwanda
Rwanda sits right against the same Virunga volcanic range we already guide on the Uganda side, and for gorilla trekking specifically it's often the more efficient route in — shorter drives, denser forest access, and permit availability that can move faster than Bwindi's when the season is busy.
We run Rwanda as a private, tailor-made extension rather than a fixed group departure — arranged through the same guiding relationships that make our Uganda treks work, with a Moseville guide alongside you for the parts of the trip inside our own borders and a trusted local counterpart for the trek itself.
Kigali is worth more time than most itineraries give it — a genuinely clean, well-run capital with a sobering, necessary Genocide Memorial and a food scene that surprises people expecting only a transit stop before the volcanoes.
See Rwanda, Region By Region
Volcanoes National Park
Dense montane forest on the Virunga range, home to habituated gorilla families and some of the most efficient trekking access in the region.
Kigali
A clean, orderly capital worth a full day — the Genocide Memorial, a strong café and food scene, and the usual staging point before heading north.
Lake Kivu
A quiet freshwater coastline for a slower day between the trekking legs of a trip, often added as a two-night wind-down.
