Ok, so whilst all your friends go and spend a couple of weeks on a beach in Mauritius for their honeymoon, why not do something truly different? Something that everyone will stop and stare at you when you tell them what you are going to do… (this is what happened to our MD when he decided to enjoy his honeymoon on a self-drive safari round Namibia!). 

Why Rwanda for a gorilla safari? The best place to track gorillas, this is a once in a lifetime experience that you will be sure to remember. Tracking these gentle giants in the wild is a truly awe-inspiring experience as you follow them through the rainforest of Volcanoes National Park and sit with them as they groom, play, fart and sleep! 

For the ultimate in luxury then Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is the property of choice; only a short drive from the gorilla park you can relax in the shadow of the Virunga Volcanoes. For those that are wanting a bit more of an adventure then the luxurious eco-friendly property of Virunga Lodge is a stunning choice located at 2,300m with views over Lakes Ruhondo and Bulera and the dramatic chain of the Virunga Volcanoes in the distance. 

The best time to visit Rwanda is anytime other than the months of March – May and October – November! These are the rainy seasons; although this won’t affect your chances of seeing the gorillas it may be slightly more slippery underfoot.
