The Land of a Thousand Hills

Best of Rwanda Safaris

A trip to Rwanda is a must for any East African safari. Rwanda is referred to as the “land of a thousand hills” due to the sheer number of breathtakingly beautiful terraced hills.

Rwanda’s stunning attractions, which include national parks like the Volcanoes National Park—which is part of the Virunga mountain range and is well-known for housing endangered mountain gorillas—and volcanic mountains that can be seen during an African safari, have resulted in a surge in tourism. Only Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, which is adjacent to other mountain gorilla habitats in the Congo and Uganda, offers trekking opportunities for the critically endangered mountain gorillas. Travelling to Rwanda’s Nyungwe Forest National Park is another option. This park is home to 13 different kinds of primates, including baboons, monkeys, and chimpanzees.

Another fantastic experience that you should not pass up when on a safari in East Africa is going on an exciting canopy walk, which is only available in Rwanda’s Nyungwe Forest National Park.

The Akagera National Park in Rwanda is the place to go if you’re searching for thrilling game drive activities. It provides exhilarating boat trips around Lake Ihema and safaris into the savanna vegetation cover.

Visitors who wish to learn about Rwanda’s past or see memorial sites honouring the genocide, which claimed thousands of Rwandan lives, regularly travel to the country in addition to visiting the national park.

A Rwanda safari would not be complete without a visit to the breathtaking Lake Kivu, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding region, including Mount Nyiragongo, which is situated in the Congo inside the Virunga highlands, as well as numerous other breathtaking vistas.

Rwanda has a range of safari experiences, such as climbing up mountains, tracking golden monkeys, trekking with gorillas, trekking with chimpanzees, trekking with nature walks, hiking with Dian Fossey, birdwatching, lakeside exploration, trekking with volcanoes, and cultural tours to the Ibyiwacu village.
