Permits first, then everything else
The first useful thing we can tell you is whether your dates are available at all.

Tell us the dates and whether they can move. Permits are capped daily, and a fortnight of flexibility can be the difference between trekking and not.
It goes to our partner agency, who plan Rwanda directly and look after you on the ground.
- The permit position for your actual dates, first
- A route with a soft day either side of the trek
- Named lodges, with how far each is from park headquarters
- No deposit to see a plan, and no obligation at any point
Who answers
Nomad Africa, our partner travel agency in Nairobi, builds and prices every itinerary we send. You deal with one team, on the ground, for the whole trip.
Founded in 2017 as East Africa’s only dedicated travel magazine, Nomad still publishes — so the people planning your trip are the ones who write about these places for a living.
