Well-being is fundamental to our overall health. Relaxation, de-stressing, and feeling connected to nature and animals is a pure form of being in harmony with your mind and body. We’ve created a trip incorporating two destinations in Rwanda where you can escape from your chaotic lifestyle and feel harmoniously connected to yourself.
Day 1 – Arrive Kigali International Airport. Meet and greet and transfer to your hotel. Overnight at Marriott Kigali.
Day 2 – Transer to Musanze (Volcanoes National Park) and Farmhouse Rwanda. Don rubber boots and a cowboy hat and tour the farm to meet the horses, cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, bunnies, and bees. Learn of the farm chores you’ll be performing during your stay, then milk (and pat) a cow before helping Chef Pascal pick vegetables and herbs as part of the dinner he will serve. This is farm-to-table in its purest form. Sunset drinks and appetizers on the patio, then let Chef Pascal teach you about Rwandan cuisine while he prepares dinner. Overnight at Farmhouse Rwanda.
Day 3 – Up early, there are chores to do. Feed the chickens, milk the cows, help clean the horse stalls, tend to the vegetable garden, and put on a bee-keeping suit and harvest the golden nector of honey. Saddle up for a horsback riding lesson then ride through scenic trails. Have an afternoon massage, a nap, read a book, and simply breathe in the stunning views of the lands and volcanos. Overnight at Farmhouse Rwanda.
Day 4 – Morning farm chores. Pick a farm activity, take a leisurely walk, go horseback riding, relax, read a book, and embrace the calm and beauty. Overnight at Farmhouse Rwanda.
Day 5 – Leisurely morning, morning chores, or farm activity – it’s no-stress decisions. Afternoon transfer to Kibuye. Boat tour to Monkey Island and Nepolean Island, and cocktails on the boat as the sun begins to set. Overnight at Cleo House Lake Kivu.
Day 6 – Wake up to the singing fishermen as they return from a night of fishing. Morning yoga by the shore of Lake Kivu, and leisurely day to go for a swim, have a massage, and sweat it out in the steam and sauna. Sunset kayak tour on Lake Kivu. Overnight at Cleo House Lake Kivu.
Day 7 – Morning yoga by the shore of Lake Kivu. Hike in the surrounding hills with a picnic lunch. Overnight at Cleo House Lake Kivu.
Day 8 – Morning yoga by the shore of Lake Kivu. Transfer back to Kigali for a late lunch and panormic city tour. Transfer to Kigali International Airport.
