Set just south of the equator, Rwanda rests in the heart of Africa between the iconic safari destinations of Kenya and Tanzania. This hidden gem offers an extraordinary range of wildlife and beautiful landscapes to explore. Known for its biodiversity, Rwanda features natural areas of endless green hills, soaring jungle-clad mountainsides and is home to some of the best primate tracking and sightings in the world. Most visitors journey to Rwanda to track and view the highly endangered mountain gorilla as it is home to over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the flourishing city of Kigali, view the expansive Lake Kivu, explore the game-rich savannah grasslands of Akagera National Park and discover the ancient Nyungwe Forest with its rich population of primate species such as the Sykes monkey, the golden monkey and the chimpanzee.
Kigali is Rwanda’s capital and largest city. It serves as the perfect starting point for a life-changing gorilla trek – one of Africa’s most unique wildlife experiences. Stretching across lush undulating hills, Kigali is surrounded by majestic mountains including Mount Kigali, rising 1850 metres above sea level. Hailed as one of the friendliest and safest cities in Africa, visitors flock here to learn about the city’s rich history, visit the collection of local restaurants, and browse the thriving market. Don’t miss a visit to the Museum of Natural History displaying exhibits of Rwanda’s geology and natural wonders, and view the paintings and sculptures at the Inema Art Centre.
Tucked in the heart of Central Africa, the Volcanoes National Park comprises lush jungle rainforest covering ancient dormant volcanoes. Located in the northwest of Rwanda, the park is home to the endangered mountain gorilla. It boasts a rich diversity of ecosystems, including bamboo forest, open grassland, and swamplands – creating the perfect sanctuary for the majestic mountain gorilla. Other highlights include: exploring the Virunga Mountains, viewing the verdant crater lakes of Sabinyo, Gahinga and Muhabura, and spotting over 180 bird species in one of the most biodiverse parks in Central Africa.
