5 Nights Uganda and Rwanda
When we landed at Kigali International Airport, a friendly smile and smooth professionalism sparked joy. As an example, the first thing that greeted us was a cold bottle of water, and honestly, after the long flight, it was exactly what we needed. That small touch instantly revived us and hinted at what was to come. As the trip unfolded, every detail of our Uganda and Rwanda tours journey with Wild Sunsets Travel & Tours reflected their exceptional planning and care.
First, we reached The Retreat by Heaven, Kigali’s calm spot mixing Rwanda’s lively culture with pretty design. We settled into the Superior King Suite and enjoyed city views. Right away, a massage and rooftop yoga eased travel stress. The next day, we dove into Kigali’s heart, visiting art spots, old sites, and busy markets. For instance, Heaven Restaurant’s local food thrilled our taste buds. Meanwhile, the Kigali Genocide Memorial shared Rwanda’s strong spirit, making our 5-night Uganda and Rwanda trip deeper.
Mount Gahinga Lodge: A Volcanic Retreat
Then, we traveled to Uganda’s Mount Gahinga National Park, where Mount Gahinga Lodge was our home for three nights. The stone bandas, with warm fireplaces and volcano views, felt like a dream. Also, joining the Batwa people for their cultural trail was special—we even tried making banana beer, a fun peek into their ways. Because of this, our Uganda and Rwanda tours grew richer.
The fun peaked with golden monkey trekking. We tracked these happy monkeys, their shiny fur glowing in bamboo woods. However, gorilla trekking in Bwindi’s foggy forests took our breath away. Meeting a silverback’s gaze with his family was magical—time stopped in that moment. As a result, those short hours became lifelong memories, treasured in our Uganda and Rwanda tours.
Bittersweet Farewell: Memories to Hold
On our last morning, we ate breakfast with volcano views, sadly leaving Mount Gahinga Lodge. Heading back to Rwanda for our flight, we took more than photos. In fact, Wild Sunsets Travel & Tours perfectly mixed nature’s beauty, cultural fun, and cozy comfort. Therefore, this Uganda and Rwanda tours trip wasn’t just a getaway—it was a life-changing journey. Now, we can’t wait to come back and feel its magic again.
