Rwanda Safari

Africa’s easiest and most accessible gorilla trekkingĀ is the main draw card of a Rwandan safari. After arriving at the capital city ofĀ Kigali, you are only a few hours’ drive away from the legendaryĀ Volcanoes National ParkĀ and its habituated but still wild gorilla families.

Ā 

Rarely experienced in isolation, a Rwandan gorilla safariĀ combines well with other East African destinations in Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania but there is more to green and hilly Rwanda than meets the eye: it is also home to the primate-filled Nyungwe Forest National Park where there are chimpanzees and fantastic bird-watching opportunities. Akagera National Park, on the other hand, offers big game viewing in a diverse savannah setting.

Ā 

Lake Kivu is a gorgeous expanse of water surrounded by Rwanda’s gently rolling slopes – in fact, Rwandans call their home ‘the country of a thousand hills’ because of its undulating landscape. Kivu is a great place to enjoy boating, hiking, kayaking and chimp trekking.

Ā 

Small, compact and easy to travel around, friendly Rwanda has dealt with its past tragedies and offers intrepid travellers and wildlife enthusiasts what is usually a hard-to-gain insight into Central African cultures, wildlife and environments.
