Rwanda Safari

Journey Through Rwanda's Forests and Cultural Wonders

Rwanda, with its lush highland rainforests and rolling hills, offers more than meets the eye. Beyond its renowned primate tracking experiences, such as gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park and chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest, the country boasts a rich array of attractions.

Start your journey in Kigali, one of Africa’s friendliest cities, known for its vibrant live music, art, festivals, culture, food, and shopping.

From there, dive into world-renowned conservation efforts at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund & Ellen DeGeneres Campus in Volcanoes National Park. This unique facility is adjacent to Volcanoes National Park and is a base for scientific research, conservation, and education. Plus, you can’t miss out on going for a safari in Akagera National Park, where you can explore the diverse landscapes and wildlife of the savannah.

Whether you arrive directly at Kigali International Airport or combine your adventure safaris in Uganda, Kenya, or Tanzania, trust us when we say that Rwanda promises an unforgettable experience.

Best Places To Visit in Rwanda

Kigali

Kigali, Rwanda’s vibrant capital, is a must-visit destination for its blend of cultural and modern attractions. Explore the city’s lively arts scene, including galleries, live music venues, and markets that showcase local talent. You can also visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which provides a poignant and educational insight into Rwanda’s history. Renowned for its cleanliness and safety, Kigali offers a warm welcome and an array of experiences. Plus, it can be combined with other East African countries.

Volcanoes National Park

Volcanoes National Park is world-renowned for its accessible and spectacular gorilla trekking opportunities. It is one of the few places where you can get up close with mountain gorillas in their natural habitat—we’re talking face to face. Golden monkey excursions are a highlight here, too. You can also visit The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund & Ellen DeGeneres Campus, which offers educational lessons and even the opportunity to hike to the late primatologist’s grave.

Nyungwe Forest National Park

Nyungwe Forest National Park is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Known for its vast expanse of pristine rainforest, it is one of the oldest and most biodiverse forests in Africa. The park is famous for its chimpanzee tracking, as well as its impressive array of primates, including L’Hoest’s monkey, Owl-faced monkey, and Grey-cheeked mangabeys. Take a hike through the forest and enjoy the beautiful views from the canopy walkway!

Akagera National Park

Akagera National Park offers a more classic African safari experience, contrasting with Rwanda’s rainforests. Located in the east of the country, it is renowned for its savannah, wetlands, and diverse wildlife. The park is home to the Big 5—lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo—making it an ideal destination for traditional game viewing. You can also take a boat safari on Lake Ihema to see hippo, crocodile, and a variety of bird species.
