About this trip
Nine days through Rwanda and Uganda, overland in 4WD vehicles, taking in landscapes, history and wildlife that most travellers skip past.
You'll learn about Rwanda's difficult past and see how the country has rebuilt itself around Musanze, before heading into Uganda to search for mountain gorillas with an expert local guide.
This is a proper overland trip — long drive days, remote communities, and a group dynamic that becomes part of the experience. Expect early starts and a route that bends with the weather and roads.
What you'll do
- Learn about Rwanda's history and see the country's recovery around Musanze
