We arrive at Kigali Airport and are welcomed by a Mboni Adventures & Safaris representative and transferred to town hotel in Kigali for check in before a pre-safari briefing. The rest of the evening will be at our disposal.
After breakfast we embark go on a guided city tour of Kigali, visiting the Genocide Memorial Center & Inema Arts Center. The development of the city after the 1994 genocide is quite impressive. The ban on the use of plastic bags makes Kigali the cleanest city on the continent. Kigali is also a place where art is thriving. We visit Inema Arts Center one of the art centers in Kigali. After lunch in one of the city restaurants, we drive to the northern town of Ruhengeri just at the foothills of the Virunga Mountains and the Volcano National Park for dinner and overnight at our hotel lodge.
After an early breakfast at 6.00am, we proceed to the park headquarter for a detailed briefing. We are divided into groups of eight and each group is allocated rangers who take us through the forest in search of a Gorilla family allocated to us. The trek may take anything between 2 to 4 hours until we spot the gorillas feasting on bamboo sprouts. We have an hour to observe them in their habitat and take pictures. If everything goes well we will be back at our lodge for a late lunch. In the afternoon we watch the traditional dancers. Dinner and overnight stay will be again at the hotel/lodge.
After a leisurely breakfast we take a 2 hour drive to Gisenye bordering Congo and on the shores of Lake Kivu. We can opt for lunch in one of the town local restaurants or at the hotel. In the afternoon we can choose to just relax on the lake shores or take boat ride on Lake Kivu. Dinner and overnight stay will be at our hotel/resort.
After breakfast we drive to Kigali through Rwanda highlands and tea plantation. Depending on our scheduled international flight we can opt for lunch on the way or in Kigali before being dropped off at the airport.

We had an excellent tour with mboni. We made our reservation online one month before the trip, and we were able to talk to the staff to address some questions prior to the trip. I had previous hiking experience but my wife did not. High point of a great holiday. It was absolutely incredible , through this company we got a lot of individual attention.
My family and I just came back from 15 days in Tanzania. The purpose of the trip was to climb mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. Mboni adventures and Safari Company who was our host were excellent and hard working. We did a 3 days trip to Mount Meru which was amazing and very beautiful. We had a crew of 11 portes, one cook, one guide and a park ranger who clearly made sure that we were safe and protected throughout our journey, many thanks to him.
I Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro via machame route and my entire trip was amazing.
The company and its people are well organized and welcoming, I found them waiting for me at the airport and I was received with so much joy and humbleness.
I had a quick chat with JACKSON who introduced himself as Mboni Adventures and Safari representative where i later came to find out He is the owner!
Thanks to the quick and accurate responses i received from MBONI, i was able to plan my kilimanjaro trek and safari in no time. Everything was good organized, the hotel was good, perfect food and good service. During climbing our guides told us interesting facts about mountain. We had a wonderful trip with kindly guides, cook and porters. We are extremely satisfied with Mboni Adventures and our trip as whole.
