Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Immerse yourselves in the captivating beauty of Rwanda, a land where nature’s wonders intertwine with romantic experiences. Our expertly curated honeymoon safaris offer an unforgettable journey through the Land of a Thousand Hills, from private gorilla trekking adventures to luxurious lakeside retreats.

Why Should You Go on Honeymoon in Rwanda?

The Land of a Thousand Hills

Discover the magic of Rwanda as you celebrate your love in one of Africa’s most surprising countries. From the manicured gardens of Kigali to the countless valleys of the countryside, Rwanda begs to be explored.

Intimate Luxury

Stay in luxurious lodges with world-class amenities, within touching distance of Volcanoes National Park and its iconic mountain gorilla families. Indulge in sumptuous spa treatments between adventures and dine on world-class cuisine with an East African twist.

Meet the Gorillas

Gear up and trek into the depths of Volcanoes National Park, where Dian Fossey once gave her life to the protection of this enchanting primate species. Here, you’ll connect with one of our closest relatives and get a glimpse of life in East Africa’s mountainous forests.

Couples Activities

Indulge in exclusive experiences like sunset boat cruises and spa treatments, or take the adventurous route and trek to see wild gorillas, chimpanzees, and other primates. When you’re ready to see the other side of Rwanda, explore Kigali and its dynamic, poignant past.

Capture a Moment in Time

Create lifelong memories in one of Africa’s most beautiful and peaceful destinations. In terms of photographic destinations, Rwanda is certainly an extraordinary backdrop for pictures that will no doubt end up on your Instagram – and your mantel piece.

Best Destinations for Honeymoons in Rwanda

Lake Kivu

Lake Kivu is a stunning freshwater lake located on the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It’s one of the African Great Lakes and is known for its deep blue waters, sandy beaches, and lush vegetation, where you can slow the pace of your honeymoon and simply relax.

Volcanoes National Park

Undoubtedly Rwanda’s most famous wilderness area, Volcanoes National Park is a misty, densely-vegetated haven for one of the world’s most vulnerable species: the mountain gorilla. Here, you can trek to see these giants yourself, while enjoying the supreme luxury of some of the world’s most innovative safari lodges.

Akagera National Park

Akagera National Park offers an exhilarating safari experience in Rwanda and is home to all of Rwanda’s Big Five. For a truly immersive experience, honeymooners can stay in luxury lodges located within the park and enjoy panoramic views of its swamps, grasslands, and hillsides.
