Rwanda
Nestled in the heart of Africa, Rwanda offers a diverse range of experiences for nature enthusiasts. Volcanoes National Park, home to the iconic mountain gorillas, provides a rare chance to trek through lush rainforests and see these gentle giants in their natural habitat. For broader wildlife experiences, visit Akagera National Park for the Big Five or explore Nyungwe National Park, a sanctuary for chimpanzees and other primates.
Relax by Lake Kivu’s serene shores after a day of adventure. While Rwanda can be visited year-round, the best time is June to September, when the weather is sunny and wildlife viewing is ideal.
Explore Rwanda Iconic Destinations
Nyungwe National Park
Nyungwe National Park is East Africa’s largest highland rainforest, offering sweeping views of steep, jungle-covered mountains even from the main road. This extraordinary park provides a habitat for a vast array of bird species and monkeys, making it a haven for wildlife lovers. Nyungwe is also a top destination for chimpanzee trekking and boasts a breathtaking 230-foot-high canopy walkway that lets visitors experience the rainforest from above.
Volcanoes National Park
Volcanoes National Park, is considered one of the world’s top destinations to observe endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. It was here that primatologist Dian Fossey began her pioneering work, helping to habituate these gentle giants to human presence. In addition to gorilla trekking, the park offers other exciting activities, such as golden monkey trekking, a hike to Fossey’s former camp, and challenging climbs up the volcanic peaks for breathtaking views.
Akagera National Park
Akagera National Park, Rwanda’s only savannah reserve, provides a unique chance to see the Big Five following recent reintroductions of rhinos and lions. Besides these iconic species, you’ll encounter plenty of plains animals, such as giraffes, zebras, impalas, and topi. Although Akagera may not match the wildlife density of more renowned parks in Kenya and Tanzania, it offers exceptional scenery and is particularly rewarding for bird enthusiasts with its diverse avian population.
Kigali - The Land of a Thousand Hills
Kigali, the capital and largest city of Rwanda, is a vibrant hub known for its cleanliness, safety, and rapid urban development. Located in Rwanda’s geographic center, Kigali spans approximately 730 square kilometers, with scenic rolling hills and valleys that have earned the country its nickname, the “Land of a Thousand Hills.” This city stands as a forward-looking African metropolis, a striking example of urban transformation. Once marked by civil war and genocide, Kigali has evolved into a symbol of progress and resilience.
