On arrival at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will receive a VIP meet and assist service, ensuring a smooth transition through arrivals. You will then meet your driver, who will take you to the Hemingways Hotel.
The following day, a Hemingways driver will take you to the nearby Wilson Airport to fly to Lewa Conservancy to stay at Sirikoi Lodge, which sits on land adjacent to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Sirikoi Lodge overlooks a lush lawn and a busy waterhole, and it has a lovely vegetable garden that supplies the kitchen. There is a pool and good game drives. Sirikoi has full roaming rights on Lewa, an excellent location for seeing black and white rhinos, regular plains game, and predators. Some species you will see there are endemic to Northern Kenya, such as the Grevy's zebra and the reticulated giraffe. Sirikoi is among our favourite places to take guests.
From Lewa, you will fly to the Naboisho Conservancy, part of the Greater Mara, to stay at Naboisho Tented Camp. The wildlife viewing is fantastic here, and the conservancy is known for having some of the best predator viewing in the world.
Fly back to Wilson Airport in Nairobi. Upon your arrival, a driver will meet you and transfer you to the international airport for your flight to Kigali, Rwanda. We recommend booking Kenya Airways. According to the current schedule, there is a flight departing at 5:30 PM and arriving in Kigali at 6:30 PM. Once you arrive in Kigali, a driver will be waiting to take you to the Kigali Serena Hotel for the night.
On the 9th, your driver will pick you up from the hotel and drive you to Wilderness Sabyinyo Lodge, located at the base of the Virunga Mountains. The three-hour journey will take you through pretty farmland and rolling hills. You will spend three nights at the lodge, which will serve as your base for two gorilla treks scheduled for the 10th and 11th. *Gorilla permits are subject to availability and can't be held without full payment.
On the 12th, you will be driven back to Kigali to catch your flight home. There are several airlines that operate flights to and from Kigali, or you may choose to fly back to Nairobi and connect from there, as it is a larger hub. If your flight departs late at night, we can arrange day rooms for you, allowing you to relax and freshen up before your journey.
