A safari we run

Cultural & Community Immersion

How long

5 days, 4 nights

Group size

2 to 10 travellers.

Indicative cost

From 1,400 CAD per person. The final figure depends on season, occupancy and the lodges chosen, and every quote states those before you are asked for anything.

How it is booked

Not through a cart. You tell us your dates, we write a quote that says what is included and what is not, and the permit date is fixed first.

What this journey is.

Step beyond the wildlife and connect with the vibrant heartbeat of East Africa. This immersive cultural journey takes you into the heart of local communities in Rwanda and Uganda. Visit the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Village, learn ancient survival skills with the Batwa people, and support sustainable, community-led tourism initiatives.

What stands out

  • Immersive visit to the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Village
  • Traditional storytelling, dance, and music
  • Learn ancient forest skills on the Batwa Trail
  • Kigali Genocide Memorial and city tour
  • Direct support to local community projects
