I have an ambitious trip in mind for the summer of 2026 and I want to just get a bit of feedback on each of the stops along the way from anyone who has visited any of these places. The logistics work out nicely between each place with commercial flights connecting all 3 countries.

The itinerary/properties I have my eyes on currently are:

4 nights Tswalu

1 night overnight in Kigali

3 nights Amakoro Songa Lodge

4 nights Kilindi

Seeing Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys had remained on my list and so has Tswalu. I discussed a full Rwanda itinerary with our travel agent which included Magashi, but my thinking is we can visit two places we’ve really wanted to go to on one trip without the logistics seeming too crazy, since we can catch commercial flights between all of the locations. My wife wants to visit Zanzibar, so while talking the trip through, I thought, sure why not. Would love to do andBeyond Mnemba, but I think Kilindi looks great at about 1/4 of the price.

Any suggestions/feedback are welcome! Thank you in advance for responses!
