Common Questions
10-Day Tour FAQ
What does 10 days add over a 7-day trip?
An extra three days allows Nyungwe Forest's canopy walk and chimpanzee trekking to be added, along with more relaxed pacing throughout, rather than the tighter connections of a 7-day circuit.
Is this itinerary suitable for older travellers?
Yes, the slower pace and shorter daily drives make 10 days more comfortable than tighter itineraries for travellers who prefer not to rush.
