THE FIELD BRIEF
The complete Rwanda in eight days: chimpanzees and the canopy walkway in Nyungwe, Lake Kivu's coast road, gorillas on the Virunga slopes, and Akagera's Big Five — one country, four different worlds.

VOICES FROM THE TRAIL
I have guided in Kenya for years and came as a skeptical tourist. Akagera's comeback story moved me, and the roads! Everything on time, everything spotless.
Rainforest, inland sea, volcanoes, savannah — in eight days without a single flight. Brilliant design and a wonderful guide in Claude.
Every detail considered. The canopy walk at Nyungwe and the gorilla hour are unforgettable. Thank you, Thousand Hills.
Rwanda is not the cheap option and permits sting, but this trip was seamless and safe. Akagera at dawn had us completely alone with a rhino.
