Discover the Beating Heart of Africa
Nestled within the Great Rift Valley of Central Africa, Rwanda’s rolling green hills and majestic mountains are home to over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population.
Although Rwanda has a turbulent political past, its amazing people have transformed the area into the safe and friendly destination it is today, ready for travellers looking to uncover the great, green beauty of equatorial Africa and its incredible wildlife.
Breathtaking Natural Beauty
Whether you are exploring the famous Volcanoes National Park on the rain forested slopes of the breathtaking Virunga Mountain Range; discovering the pristine rainforest of Nyungwe National Park in the south west; or taking in the labyrinth of forest-fringed lakes of the north east in Akagera National Park, expect to uncover unrivalled views and feel a sense of being enveloped by the wild beauty of Africa.
Luxury Lodges
With a number of exquisite five-star accommodation options, you can really safari in style in Rwanda! Some of our favourites include Wilderness Bisate Lodge, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest, Nyungwe House, Singita Kwitonda Luxury Lodge & Safari, The Retreat in Kigali and Wilderness Magashi Camp in Akagera National Park.
Wildlife Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
Within the world renowned, diverse parks of Rwanda lives a spectacular array of rare wildlife and life-changing viewing opportunities. Each park is home to its own hero primates – from the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys of Volcanoes National Park to the chimpanzees and colobus monkeys of Nyungwe National Park and the olive baboons, vervet monkeys and bushbabies of Akagera National Park. Add to this hundreds of birds and large plains game, and you’ve got a wildlife destination like no other.
Unique National Park Experiences
In addition to the once-in-a-lifetime mountain gorilla encounters in Virunga, the opportunity to see chimpanzees up close in Nyungwe National Park is not to be missed. A particularly great way to experience this is on a canopy walk – an exhilarating guided experience on a suspended bridge 70 m above the forest.
In Akagera National Park, a boat safari on Lake Ihema is a wonderful way to explore central Africa’s largest protected wetland and its abundant wildlife. For the adventurous traveller, a 4×4 safari in Akagera will optimise your chances of seeing black rhino, lion, giraffe, and more in an impressive off-road vehicle.
