Parks To Explore
Volcanoes National Park
Set in the heart of the Virunga Mountains, Volcanoes National Park enchants with its emerald-covered peaks and mystical rainforests. This is one of the last places on Earth where the elusive mountain gorillas can be seen. Trekking through this landscape, you may come across a family of gorillas resting or grooming each other—a profound, unforgettable experience.
In addition to gorillas, the park is also home to golden monkeys, colobus monkeys, owl-faced monkeys, and blue monkeys, adding to the rich biodiversity of this region.
Nyungwe Forest National Park
Nyungwe Forest is a treasure trove of biodiversity within an equatorial rainforest setting. This park offers a rare opportunity to track wild chimpanzees and observe them as they forage and build their nests. Other primates inhabit the forest, including Dent’s monkeys, olive baboons, and vervet monkeys.
For a unique perspective, venture onto the canopy walkway, suspended among the treetops. From this vantage point, you’ll witness a world alive with butterflies, exotic birds, and orchids, all set against the lush landscape below.
Akagera National Park
Not all of Rwanda’s parks are mountainous. Akagera National Park spans savannahs, marshlands, low hills, and forests. It’s home to a remarkable range of wildlife, including topis, zebras, impalas, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, and lions. Conservation efforts here have helped boost animal populations, making sightings more frequent and rewarding.
Rwanda offers an extraordinary blend of landscapes, wildlife, and experiences that make every visit unforgettable. Ready to explore the Land of a Thousand Hills?
