Rwanda

Encounter gorillas, fabulous game safaris and beautiful national parks in this small country that packs a punch. 

Rwanda may be small but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty. It has shaken off its troubled pas and is now a shining example of a stable, warm and welcoming country. Here you can experience some of the best safaris in Africa, tick off a bucket-list experience and go in search of Dian Fossey’s Gorillas in the Mist and relax on the shores of one of Africa’s most beautiful lakes.

Volcanoes National Park is the most famous destination in Rwanda, home to ten different communities of mountain gorillas. Depart with your experienced guide in small groups in search of these magnificent beasts as well as golden monkeys. For safari, Akagera National Park offers a premier African safari experience as you explore the savannah spotting elephants, lions, giraffe, buffalo and much more.

Rwanda is also home to one of Africa’s oldest forests. Enjoy a walk along the forest canopy walkway through Ngunwe, dating back to the prehistoric era. Encounter monkeys, endless species of birds and an amazing mix of vegetation and stunning landscapes.

For relaxation, the best spot in Rwanda is Lake Kivu. Head out onto the water for a boat trip or try your hand and canoeing or fishing. Maybe take a dip in the warm waters or simply relax on the shores of the lake and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of one of the most beautiful of Africa’s Great Lakes.
