Detailed Itinerary: 10-Day Rwanda Safari and Mozambique Beach Holiday

Day 1 — Arrival in Kigali and Transfer to your hotel

Arrive at Kigali International Airport, where a private transfer meets you and takes you to your hotel. Spend the afternoon relaxing and recovering from travel, freshening up, and strolling nearby neighbourhoods to get a gentle introduction to Rwanda’s warm hospitality. If time allows, enjoy a light dinner at a recommended local restaurant and a short orientation about your 10-Day Rwanda Safari and Mozambique tour with your guide to review the week’s schedule, health and safety notes, and gorilla-trekking preparations. Prepare travel documents, confirm gorilla permit details, and practice carrying minimal weight. Rest early to be ready for an active morning, and pack snacks.

Day 2 — Kigali City Tour and Transfer to Volcanoes.

Start with a guided Kigali city tour visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial, local art galleries, and a bustling market to experience contemporary Rwandan culture and history. After lunch, meet your driver and begin the scenic drive north toward Musanze and Volcanoes National Park, with photo stops and brief village views en route. Arrive mid to late afternoon; check into your lodge, attend a short briefing about tomorrow’s trek, collect any permit documents, and enjoy tea before dinner as you prepare for an early start.

Day 3 — Gorilla trekking and afternoon relaxation.

Rise early for transfer to the park headquarters, where you’ll meet the park rangers and guides, receive a safety briefing, and be grouped for your gorilla trek. Follow forest trails with experienced guides and porters, tracking a habituated gorilla family; the trek can vary from a short walk to several hours depending on gorilla movements. Spend one treasured hour observing the group at a respectful distance under ranger guidance, then return to the lodge for a restorative hot shower, delicious meal, and time to reflect on the day’s extraordinary encounter and share memories.

Day 4 — Golden monkey trek and Gorilla Guardians Village.

After breakfast, travel to a nearby trailhead for a Golden Monkey trek through bamboo forests; these lively primates are easier to spot and offer a playful contrast to yesterday’s encounter. The guided walk highlights botanical features and birdlife as you follow troops through rolling slopes. In the afternoon, visit the Gorilla Guardians Village (Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village) to meet former guardians and local artisans, watch traditional dances, try basket-weaving, and hear community conservation stories that deepen understanding of the people protecting the park and its wildlife. Return to the lodge for rest.

Day 5 — Transfer to Kigali and flight to Mozambique.

After breakfast, depart Volcanoes and enjoy a scenic drive back to Kigali, with a stop for lunch and any last-minute souvenir shopping at local craft centres. Arrive at Kigali International Airport in time for your scheduled flight to Maputo or Vilankulo in Mozambique; airport assistance and domestic check-in are handled by your guide. On arrival in Mozambique, a driver transfers you to your beach accommodation, where you can relax, settle in, and enjoy a sunset walk on the sand before dinner and a soothing night, and sample fresh seafood for dinner.

Day 6 — Arrive at the beach and embark on a gentle exploration.

Wake slowly and enjoy a leisurely breakfast beside the Indian Ocean before a short orientation to the beach resort and safety briefing for water activities. Spend the morning strolling on white sand, swimming, or snorkeling over nearby coral gardens to see vibrant fish and reef life. After lunch, choose a guided dhow cruise to explore nearby islands or a village visit to learn about coastal life. Finish the day with a beachside sunset and a fresh seafood dinner. Optional activities include diving trips to Bazaruto reefs, kayak rentals, or reading under shade.

Day 7 — Marine day: snorkeling, diving, or boat safari.

Rise for an early dive or snorkel to one of the area’s prime reefs as part of your Rwanda Safari and Mozambique Beach Tour, where clear waters reveal sea turtles, schools of reef fish, and, season permitting, manta rays or whale sharks. For non-divers, a glass-bottom boat, guided snorkel, or coastal fishing trip offers marine encounters close to shore. Return for a short beach lunch, then wander to a local village market to browse coastal crafts and sample street snacks. The evening is free to relax at the lodge, enjoy a spa treatment or pool, and watch a sundowner on the terrace.

Day 8 — Island hopping and cultural encounters.

Take a morning boat hop to nearby islands for beachcombing, guided reef walks, or a picnic on a secluded stretch of sand. Meet local fishers to learn about traditional net fishing, visit small island communities to browse handmade baskets and crafts, and support local enterprises with purchases of spices or carved curios. The afternoon is yours for a massage, pool time, or a gentle cycle along the coast. Finish with a special seafood barbecue on the beach and local music. Guided horseback rides along the shore are available at select times.

Day 9 — Free day with optional excursions.

Use this flexible day to return to your favourite beach, book a longer scuba dive to deeper sites, charter a boat for offshore fishing, or take a guided mangrove walk to spot birdlife and juvenile fish. Alternatively, spend the day reading in a hammock, enjoying a spa treatment, or sampling coastal cuisine during a cooking demonstration that teaches local recipes. In the evening, celebrate your trip with a sunset cruise or private beach dinner arranged by the lodge. Your guide can also arrange transfers to nearby towns for market visits or last-minute shopping.

Day 10 — Departure day.

This is the last day of your magical 10-Day Rwanda Safari and Mozambique tour. After a final morning on the beach, enjoy breakfast, pack, and take a last swim or coffee with ocean views. Depending on your international flight time, transfer to the local airport for your domestic connection to Maputo or a direct international departure. Your lodge will check you out and assist with luggage and documentation. If time allows, enjoy a final short walk or souvenir stop en route to the airport. Safe travels home or onwards, leave with memories of mountain gorillas and tropical seas. We recommend confirming flight times and allowing extra transfer time today.
