3 Day Kigali City Tour Lake Kivu Chimpanzee Trekking Safari is a classic 3-day tour which offers just enough time to take in the highlights of Rwanda. The highlights include Kigali City Tour, Lake Kivu Tour and Chimpanzee Trekking in Nyungwe National Park.

Discover Kigali City, Kigali is a beautiful city that’s often rushed through in favour of gorillas and other out-of-town attractions. The city is very safe, very green, very clean, and has more to offer than a visitor might expect.

Our city Tour includes the Kigali Genocide Memorial, market and souvenir shopping, art galleries and some local Rwandis food. Lake Kivu is about 4 hours away from Kigali. Visit Ndaba Rock; learn the history behind this rock.

Children earn living narrating the story of this legendary rock, visiting Environmental Museum, and taking boat rides visiting Amahoro (peace in English). Amahoro Island has a small restaurant and campsite and you can swim or play volleyball.

The next ride will take you to on shores of Lake Kivu while observing the calm sea-like water. The island features a brigade of fruits bats. Have your lunch and dinner in Napoleon Islands hotels.

A visit to Nyungwe Forest National Park is included in the tour. Early breakfast (4:45 am); then drive to the chimp trekking point. After trekking, the Canopy Walkway follows depending on the time available.
