OBSERVE ENDANGERED WILDLIFE AND WITNESS NATURAL BEAUTY: RWANDA SAFARI TOURS

Dynamic landscape. Breathtaking at every turn. Adventure hub. Rwanda experienced great tragedy during the genocide of 1994, but the years since have brought a remarkable transformation to this beautiful nation. This country might be most widely known for its endangered mountain gorilla population—indeed, a Rwanda gorilla trekking tour is an experience that is unmatched. With fewer than 900 gorillas left in the world, hiking to their habitat in the bamboo-covered slopes of the Virunga Mountains in the “Parc National de Volcans” (Volcanoes National Park) is a truly awe-inspiring encounter. But a trip to Rwanda is so much more.

Visit Nyungwe Forest National Park, an untouched natural rainforest that is home to chimpanzees and other primate species along with a dizzying array of birds and mammals. Or for a more traditional Rwanda safari experience, explore the labyrinth of lakes, papyrus swamps, savanna plains, and rolling highlands of Akagera National Park, one of the most scenic reserves in Africa. It is home to many large-plains game species including elephant, buffalo, and zebra, as well as predators including leopard, hyena, and side-striped jackal. For a more urban experience, visit Rwanda’s dynamic capital city, Kigali. Nestled along picturesque hilltops and with its bustling streets, pretty boulevards, and award-winning museums, it is a city transformed that has gained a reputation for being clean, green, and decidedly safe.

Explore mountain habitats, observe marvelous wildlife, and experience wonder on our Gorilla Tracking & Big Five Safari. Your tour of Rwanda begins in Kigali, where you’ll learn about the tragic events of this country’s recent past, experience its vibrant present, and see its bright future. The home of Rwanda’s remaining mountain gorillas—Volcanoes National Park—is your next stop. Here, you’ll trek the same trails as the largest primate on earth and spend some time (at a distance) with these incredible beings. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to seek another rare primate, golden monkeys. Leaving the rainforest behind, you’ll head through Rwanda’s scenic countryside to the picturesque savannas of Akagera National Park. Known by insiders as one of Africa’s prettiest destinations, it’s also a wonderland of natural life. Here, you’ll set out on game drives with expert safari guides in search of lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant, and spot some of the park’s over 500 bird species.
