When Do You Want To Go?
From a troubled past, Rwanda is emerging as one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, attracting visitors from around the world to its incredible National Parks and wildlife encounters. With four unique National Parks, easily combinable by road – including some spectacular scenic drives, Rwanda offers a friendly and welcoming experience on all budgets.
The capital Kigali, in the heart of the country is a great staring point, with vibrant markets and a young, fresh art and design scene. Hikers and bikers will be in their element in Rwanda, with an abundance of scenic trails across the country, whilst Lake Kivu also provides spectacular canoe and kayak adventures. The open savannah plains, swampland, highlands, and lakes of Akagera National Park makes for a hugely diverse landscape, resulting in a variety of plains game and predators for an action-packed big five safari experience.
Located on the Albertine Rift lies over a thousand square kilometres of virgin forest dating back to the ice age. The beautiful ancient Nyungwe Forest is home to thirteen types of primates including colonies of up to 300 Colobus Monkeys, Chimpanzees a tapestry of orchids and an incredible array of bird species.
Journey by road through the ‘land of a thousand hills’ to Volcanoes National Park, where the awe-inspiring atmosphere created by the sleeping volcanoes provides the perfect setting for the mesmerising and touching encounters with endangered mountain gorillas, an experience that resonates long after you leave.
