Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Kigali – Warm Welcome to Rwanda
Your honeymoon begins as soon as you arrive at Kigali International Airport, where a friendly representative from JimJam Safaris will welcome you with flowers and a warm Rwandan smile. After a brief orientation, you’ll be transferred to your romantic boutique hotel in Kigali. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a guided city tour of Kigali, visiting landmarks such as the Kigali Genocide Memorial, Kimironko Market, and artisan craft centers. In the evening, enjoy a private candlelit dinner at your hotel with views of the twinkling city lights—a perfect start to your African love story.
Day 2: Transfer to Volcanoes National Park – Scenic Romance
After breakfast, embark on a scenic 2.5-hour drive north to Volcanoes National Park, the gateway to the endangered mountain gorillas. The route offers stunning views of Rwanda’s terraced hills, lakes, and distant volcanoes. Upon arrival, check into a luxurious eco-lodge nestled in the foothills of the Virunga Mountains. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the lodge with optional nature walks, a couple’s spa treatment, or just unwinding in your private suite with panoramic views. In the evening, savor a gourmet dinner prepared with fresh local ingredients as you prepare for tomorrow’s gorilla trekking adventure.
Day 3: Gorilla Trekking – A Shared Once-in-a-Lifetime Moment
Today is the highlight of your honeymoon safari. After an early breakfast, you’ll head to the park headquarters for a briefing before beginning your once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trek. Accompanied by expert trackers and guides, hike through lush bamboo forests and volcanic slopes in search of a habituated gorilla family. The trek can take 2–6 hours, depending on the gorilla’s location, but the reward is unmatched: a magical, intimate hour observing these gentle giants in their natural habitat. After your trek, return to the lodge for a leisurely lunch and a romantic fireside evening under the stars.
Day 4: Twin Lakes Tour & Cultural Experience
After a relaxed morning, enjoy a guided excursion to the scenic twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo, known for their tranquility and stunning backdrops. Glide across the lakes in a traditional canoe, visit local fishing villages, and absorb the untouched beauty surrounding you. In the afternoon, immerse yourselves in Rwandan culture with a visit to the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village, where you’ll witness traditional dances, rituals, and interact with locals who were once poachers but now guardians of conservation. Return to the lodge for a special honeymoon cake and a bottle of sparkling wine on the house.
Day 5: Transfer to Akagera National Park – Savanna Welcome
After breakfast, begin your drive to Akagera National Park in eastern Rwanda—a scenic 5–6 hour journey with a packed picnic en route. This is Rwanda’s only Big Five park, known for its savanna plains, lakes, and rolling hills. Upon arrival, you’ll check into a romantic lodge with views of Lake Ihema. Relax and freshen up, then enjoy a short sunset game drive or boat safari to spot hippos, crocodiles, and elephants along the lake shores. Wind down with dinner by lantern light and fall asleep to the distant calls of the wild.
Day 6: Full-Day Game Drive – Safari in Style
Rise early for a full-day game drive across Akagera’s diverse landscapes, from savannah to swamp. With your private guide, track lions, leopards, giraffes, buffalo, elephants, zebras, and a variety of antelope. Capture the golden sunrise on the plains and share quiet moments as you pause for a bush breakfast in the wilderness. A romantic lunch is served picnic-style in a scenic spot within the park. By afternoon, you’ll head back to the lodge for a couple’s massage or a sundowner on your private deck. End your day with a farewell dinner beneath the African sky.
Day 7: Return to Kigali – Departure
After breakfast, enjoy a short morning game drive or nature walk before checking out. You’ll then journey back to Kigali, arriving in the afternoon. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time to enjoy one last local meal or shop for souvenirs. You’ll be transferred to the airport in time for your departure flight. Leave with hearts full of love and a camera full of unforgettable memories. This marks the end of your honeymoon safari, but the beginning of many more adventures together.
