Rwanda
Elevated, Intimate, Extraordinary
Rwanda offers an exceptional range of experiences for travelers, from tracking endangered mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park and exploring the rich primate habitats of Nyungwe Forest National Park to enjoying classic wildlife safaris in Akagera National Park and unwinding along the scenic shores of Lake Kivu.
Among Rwanda’s most sought-after attractions is gorilla trekking. With fewer than 1,000 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild, these remarkable primates can only be found in Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda is widely regarded as one of the most accessible and secure destinations for gorilla trekking. The trek itself typically lasts between 1 and 5 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla family, followed by a precious one-hour encounter with the gorillas in their natural habitat. This unforgettable experience is considered one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife adventures.
