Familiarisation Trips

There is no doubt Mountain Gorillas and the Big Five are the highlights of our safaris in 2024, so why not experience these for yourself?

In late 2024 Travulous will be offering Familiarisation Trips for the Travel Trade to visit Rwanda. The Volcanoes National Park segment of these trips will be guided by Ian Redmond. Ian worked with Dian Fossey at the original Karisoke Research Center in the 1970s, introduced Sir David Attenborough to the mountain gorillas, and taught Sigourney Weaver to grunt like a gorilla for her award-winning role in 'Gorillas in the Mist'.

Site inspections will include luxury properties in Kigali, Akagera NP and Volcanoes NP (including The Retreat, Magashi, Kwitonda Lodge, Bisate, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge and Gorilla's Nest).
