Rwanda
Overgrown rainforests, ancient volcanoes, elusive gorillas. Rwanda’s tiny, landlocked country holds big secrets traversable by curious adventurers undaunted by steep trails, jagged peaks, and up-close wildlife.
Breathe the chilled air of the Virunga Mountains, where ancient volcanoes give way to muddy marshes and lush grasslands. Crouch low as you sneak around the gorilla sanctuary at Parc National des Volcans, hiding behind bony bamboo trees as wild gorillas pretend they don’t see you. Kigali’s Genocide Museum pays tribute to lives lost, and tells their stories of strength and courage.
Our Rwanda tours take from the “Twin Lakes” of Ruhondo and Burera, where golden monkeys dazzle visitors as they swing from trees, to the Old Karisoke Research Station, where Diane Fossey’s legacy lives on. Allow Rwanda’s lush rainforests, humbling museums, and hidden sanctuaries to captivate your heart.

These tours are considerably more strenuous than our Level 1 & 2 "cultural" tours and feature walks/hikes on undulating and uneven pathways for 3-7 hours at a leisurely pace. We don't hike every day, but participants should be fit and active and accustomed to trail walking, possibly in remote locations, and be prepared to engage in a conditioning regimen prior to the trip. Altitude may also be a factor on some tours, though none of our hiking tours currently occur above 3000m/10,000 ft. These are hotel-based tours with no camping, and you are required to only carry what you need for the day.

Tour Style: Cultural
These three- and four-star hotel-based, "soft adventure" trips concentrate on the culture, history, and natural attributes of our destination. Though there are no strenuous activities built into these tours, you need to be prepared for some full days with some early starts, plenty of walking on uneven surfaces through villages, cities and archaeological sites, and not a lot of "down time." Independence, reasonable fitness, and an ability to be steady on one's feet are critical in order for you to get the most out of these programs.

Jonathan Hodgson
Jonathan has lived much of his life dedicated to the idea that he would rather have a wealth of experiences than a wealth of riches. Having taken up a nomadic lifestyle shortly after finishing his undergraduate degree, he has been on the move on and off over the last 25+ years. The wanderlust has taken him to basing himself in places such as Scotland, Australia and Uzbekistan, and to visiting many more locations around our planet. Now (sort of) settled in Vancouver with his wonderful (and patient) family, he still loves the idea of having the world as his office and always enjoys trying to capture the essence of the locations he travels and tours in with his photography.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.
ABOUT:
I love the excitement of getting up each morning on a tour and not knowing exactly how a day will unfold. It keeps me on my toes so to speak, and adds a breath of excitement to each day on tour. With almost 30 years of tour leading under my belt, I thank all of you for being a part of this exciting journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
ASK A QUESTION
01. Do you need a visa to travel to Rwanda?
Yes, the majority of visitors travelling to Rwanda need a tourist visa as well as a current passport, good for a minimum of six months beyond your entry date. Obtaining an e-visa is generally the easiest way to get one and will allow you to visit the country for up to 90 days.
02. Is Rwanda safe?
Rwanda is one of the safest countries in Africa, and travellers should have an easy time moving through it. Violent crimes are relatively low and not generally aimed at tourists, though petty crimes such as pickpocketing do happen. Stay with your tour guide and do not leave your group, and you should be safe.
03. When is the best time to visit Rwanda
The best time to visit Rwanda is when gorilla trekking is at its peak, during either the short or long dry seasons. The short season lasts from mid-December to early February, and the longer dry season runs from June to September. The weather will be warm, and gorillas will be easily seen.
