Day 1 Kigali
We'll gather this evening in our Kigali hotel for Happy Hour and our traditional 'get-acquainted meeting.
Lemigo Hotel (1 night)

Day 2 Kigali - Bwindi
After our breakfast we'll be transported to the Genocide Museum. This emotional visit examines the terrible Rwandan genocide of the 1990s, but also takes a sobering look at all of the 19th and 20th century genocides. After lunch together you will drive through the verdant rolling hills of Rwanda to the Ugandan border and Bwindi National Park. After dinner you’ll be briefed on the next day's activities.
Day 3 Bwindi National Park
After an early breakfast you leave for our highly anticipated Gorilla trekking experience. You’ll drive in sturdy 4x4s to Rushaga HQ where you will be allocated to a Gorilla family to track. Rushaga sector is well known for sheltering a high number of habituated mountain gorilla families. Interacting with these docile but magnificent animals is a memorable experience. Each gorilla family is led by a Silverback who determines the movements and daily activities within the family. Your adventure will take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours, depending on how far you must trek to find our respective gorilla groups.
Rushaga Gorilla Lodge (2 nights)

Day 4 Kigali - Nairobi
After a leisurely morning we will make the drive back to Kigali for an afternoon flight to Nairobi. We'll be met at the airport by our ace tour manager Clara and transferred to our Nairobi hotel.

Today is a travel day. We’ll have a leisurely start and break up our driving day with a lunch break, arriving in the late afternoon in the Masai Mara.

By one metric MM ranks #1 for lions, #2 for rhinos, #1 for leopards, and #1 for cheetahs. After settling in the camp, we will head out for an evening game drive to explore what mother nature has to offer.

Our days in the MM will be quite similar. We’ll engage in early and late game drives, pursuing the “Big Five” and taking advantage of each day’s best photographic light.

Occasionally, there will be optional activities such as a Hot Air Balloon Ride, Maasai cultural tours, or walking safaris.

We at Imprint Tours believe travel broadens horizons, introduces new ways to see the world, equips us with a new frame of reference for evaluating our own society, breaks down prejudice, and promotes global understanding. Therefore, we endeavor to “Travel with Intent”: an intention to take a reflective, introspective approach; connect with the cultures we visit; and balance the enjoyment of discovery with responsible travel. We want our “imprint” on the planet to be light and our “imprint” on the local culture to be positive.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Anja, was exceptional. Our South Island bus driver, Jonnie, was also great. The tour covered all the major sites in New Zealand.

Reid made the trip go well despite being thrown many unexpected events outside his control. Accomodations were clean and comfortable. Have been on 2 trips and would go again.

I am so glad I finally took this cruise to Antarctica with Imprint, and that we cruised with Antarctica 21. They are a top-notch cruise company. I enjoyed being on a small ship, the staff and crew were fantastic, and the zodiac excursions were just the right length of time. I enjoyed seeing the penguins and seals, but getting to see so many whales was the highlight of the cruise. This is an expensive trip, but it is so worth the investment. I can see why people repeat this trip.

This was the one of the very top trips I have ever been on!!! It exceeded my expectations considerably! I was invited on this tour after a cancellation and because I would be traveling with the others going from MN on this tour, I said YES! And, I am so happy I did. Traveling to South America was arduous, but it was so very worth it. Traveling across the Drake Passage was challenging, but again worth it!! I was prepared with motion sickness patches and pills. The Magellan Explorer ship crew was fantastic - from the hospitality to the Captain and all those 49 crew members that made it happen!! Also, the other 94 passengers were kind and respectful. The 13 members of the A21 expedition staff - knowledgable, fun, professional, friendly. It was an exceptional trip and currently rates as the best trip of my life. That does not happen following every trip I go on. I have so many fantastic memories. It all just came together so well.

While I realize Antarctica21 was the primary operator of the experience, I still appreciate Imprint facilitating the trip. William as usual was a rockstar, and had to give up his kayak experience to placate someone else. The only drawback was that our bed was a hide-bed in our higher-level cabin, which I was not expecting. I realize this is out of Imprint’s span of control, and perhaps might be fixed with the new ship next year. If not, perhaps passing along the hide-a-bed possibility at booking might be something to consider.
