Join us on an unforgettable experience exploring the stunning landscapes and rich cultures of Rwanda and Uganda. 

You will start your journey in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, where the group will spend the first few days exploring the city’s vibrant culture and history. Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, wander through bustling markets, and dine at local restaurants, soaking in Rwanda’s modern yet deeply historical atmosphere. 

After Rwanda, the adventure continues in Uganda, where the group will head to the famous Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for an unforgettable gorilla trekking experience. Trek through the dense forest, guided by experts, to encounter one of the world’s last populations of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Following the trek, the group will head to Kampala, Uganda’s vibrant capital, for cultural exploration. Immerse yourself in the local way of life with visits to traditional markets, historical sites, and cultural centers, rounding off your journey with a deep dive into Uganda’s dynamic heritage and a chance to give back to the community through our foundation, Africa with Us Foundation
