Rwanda Safari Tours

Safari Tours

Our Rwanda tours range from short escapes to multi-day journeys that explore all three of the country’s national parks. You might spend a weekend in Volcanoes National Park tracking gorillas, or embark on a longer circuit combining Nyungwe Forest for chimpanzee trekking, Akagera for Big 5 game drives, and Lake Kivu for relaxation. Many tours can be combined with neighbouring Uganda, Kenya, or Tanzania for a broader East African experience.

Gorilla Trekking Adventures

The highlight of any Rwanda holiday, gorilla trekking takes you deep into the misty forests of Volcanoes National Park to encounter these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Each trek is led by expert guides and rangers who share insights into gorilla behaviour, conservation, and the surrounding ecosystem. You’ll also have opportunities to see golden monkeys, hike volcano trails, or visit the Dian Fossey Research Centre.

Classic Safari Experiences

In Akagera National Park, you can enjoy a more traditional safari with morning and afternoon game drives in search of lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo. Boat safaris on Lake Ihema reveal hippos, crocodiles, and prolific birdlife, while the park’s diverse landscapes, from open plains to papyrus swamps, is the perfect canvas for spectacular photography opportunities.

Cultural & Scenic Journeys

Rwanda is as rich in culture as it is in wildlife. Travel through Kigali’s thriving art and coffee scenes, visit memorial sites and museums, or take part in village experiences that showcase traditional dance, basket weaving, and farming practices. Scenic journeys include road trips along the Lake Kivu shoreline, visits to tea and coffee plantations, and hikes in the lush green hills that give Rwanda its nickname, the “Land of a Thousand Hills”.
