Rwanda Journey

Begin your Rwandan journey in the leafy hills of Kigali, where Hemingways Retreat Kigali offers a calm and elegant welcome. With just 20 individually styled rooms, this boutique haven blends wellness, warmth, and local artistry. Start your day with rooftop yoga or a soothing spa ritual before exploring the city’s rich culture and history. Private visits to the Kigali Genocide Memorial and Inema Arts Centre offer a deeper connection to Rwanda’s story, while evenings are best spent dining to live music or enjoying a curated wine tasting under the stars.

Venture north to the misty highlands of Volcanoes National Park, where the Virunga Volcanoes form a dramatic backdrop to one of the world’s most profound wildlife encounters. Embark on a guided gorilla trek through emerald bamboo forests, a once-in-a-lifetime moment filled with awe and quiet reverence. After a day in the wild, return to your luxury lodge to warm fires, panoramic views, and nourishing meals that honour the spirit of place.

Travel to Rwanda’s southwestern reaches, where Nyungwe Forest invites you into its tranquil embrace. Stay at a forested tea estate retreat, surrounded by birdsong and rolling hills. Track chimpanzees at dawn, venture across the forest canopy bridge suspended above the trees, or explore miles of trails beneath towering mahoganies. Between activities, unwind with wellness treatments and take in the slow beauty of this ancient montane rainforest.

Return to Kigali by road or scenic helicopter transfer. Depending on your flight time, enjoy a light lunch, visit a local gallery, or simply pause to reflect on your journey. Leave with renewed perspective, enriched by Rwanda’s resilience, beauty, and deep-rooted connection to nature.
