Next, the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls greets you—“The Smoke That Thunders”—a spectacle of raw power and misty enchantment straddling Zambia and Zimbabwe. Then, the silence of the Namib Desert beckons, where the red dunes of Sossusvlei rise like waves frozen in time, and the stars blaze across the night sky in celestial brilliance.
Finally, you ascend into the emerald highlands of Rwanda, trekking through bamboo forests to meet the gaze of mountain gorillas, whose quiet dignity leaves an imprint on the soul.

June 28, 2027 – Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Today, presents the opportunity to partake in one of two incredible experiences, Gorilla Trekking or Golden Monkey Trekking. Both options are included, but you may only choose one of the two activities, and your decision will likely hinge on your physical ability. Read the description of both activities below and make your election at the time of booking.
Option One: Gorilla Trekking
Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is moderately to highly challenging, depending on factors like terrain, altitude, weather, and your fitness level. Volcanoes National Park sits at altitudes between 7,800 and 15,000 feet. (Denver, for purposes of comparison, is at 5,200; Machu Picchu is at 8,000.) Trails are often steep, slippery, and uneven. Depending on the location of the gorilla family, treks can be short (1–2 hours) or long (up to 6 hours). Hikers often navigate through thick underbrush, bamboo forests, and muddy paths. Some gorilla groups live at higher elevations, adding to the challenge.
Despite the effort, Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda is often described as “life-changing” and with good reason. With just 1,000 gorillas left in the world, to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is a truly unique and memorable experience. Gorillas make their homes in and amongst the bamboo-covered slopes of the Virunga Mountains in the Volcanoes National Park. Our expert trackers will take us to visit habituated families of mountain gorillas where we can stay with them for an awe-inspiring hour, often crouching just a few feet away, while the gorillas go about their daily lives. Hikes in the mountains can last anywhere from one to six hours, depending on the family allocated to each group and their location. The journey back can take just as long, but you are often carried along by the euphoria you feel after sighting these majestic creatures.
Option 2: Golden Monkey Trekking:
For those looking for a less physically demanding experience today, we offer the option of Golden Monkey trekking. This experience is faster-paced, more lighthearted, and less physically demanding than Gorilla trekking, which is slower, more immersive, and emotionally intense due to the gorillas’ complex social behavior. Golden monkeys are small, agile primates with striking golden-orange fur, endemic to the Virunga Mountains.
Trekkers often encounter large troops of 30–100 monkeys. These monkeys are playful, fast-moving, and often leap through bamboo forests, making the experience lively and dynamic. The monkeys are found in lower elevations of Volcanoes National Park, especially in bamboo zones. Treks are generally shorter (1–2 hours) and less strenuous that gorilla trekking, making it suitable for a wider range of fitness levels.

Gratuities are included for all hotels, restaurants, guides and activities included and detailed in the program itinerary. You may, at your own discretion, provide additional tips.
Excursions during your travel program are led by expert English speaking local guides. The excursions are rated in difficulty based on the type and condition of the terrain, possible ascent/decent height as well as the total distance walked.

If you choose this option, please let us know as soon as possible after booking.
You are on vacation as the last thing we want to impose is a dress code. Be as dressed up or down as you see fit as long as you are comfortable and dress appropriately for changeable weather.
Comfortable, sporty, casual clothing is appropriate throughout this program. We suggest lightweight, light-colored, “expedition style” clothing in natural, moisture-wicking fabrics that may be layered. A mix of shirts, everyday slacks/pants, skirts/dresses, and walking shorts are appropriate. Early mornings, late evenings, and air-conditioned spaces may also require a light sweater or jacket.
Much more detailed packing suggestions will be provided closer to the start of the trip.
The comfort and safety of our guests is our first priority. Smoking is not permitted in enclosed public areas. There will be designated outdoor smoking areas at all properties.
There are no vaccinations required to enter any of the countries on this itinerary with one exception. A yellow fever vaccine is required, but only if you’re coming from or transiting through a country with risk of Yellow Fever transmission (e.g., Kenya, Ethiopia, Brazil). However, we recommend consulting your doctor, a travel medicine clinic or consulting the US CDC, or your home country’s Center for Disease Control for recommendations such as Hepatitis, typhoid, malaria, etc.
In June, average temperatures across Tanzania, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Rwanda range from mild to warm, with cooler nights and minimal rainfall—ideal for travel and wildlife viewing.
Expect temperatures to range from lows in the mid 40s Fahrenheit to highs of 91 degrees Fahrenheit. It is dry season throughout all of these countries, so you should expect minimal rainfall.
In Namibia, do not underestimate the sun and the high temperatures! Nor the bone-chilling cold in the winter months when the wind can last for days. Always wear a hat and don’t forget the sunscreen. The heat is easy to bear because of the dryness, but you should drink enough fluids. You can expect daytime temperatures well above 86 Fahrenheit, but also near 32 Fahrenheit in the morning and evening!
