Highlights of Rwanda
Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Big Five
Rwanda is perhaps best known for its mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park and the exhilarating treks to see these majestic creatures are sure to be the highlight of any visit to the country. But beyond the gorillas are additional primate species, including golden monkeys and chimpanzees. The latter can be tracked in the breathtaking Nyungwe region, home to ancient rainforests and profound birding diversity. Rwanda is also home to Big Five safari with Akagera National Park boasting fantastic game alongside stunning lakes.
Rwanda’s small size allows these three destinations to be easily combined either by car or by helicopter. The combination of both modes of transportation provides an incredible journey in and above the lush country that is truly unforgettable.
Travel Guide
The proximity of Uganda makes it a natural pairing with Rwanda, particularly for those looking for multiple yet varied primate tracking experiences. Rwanda can also be easily combined with nearby Kenya or Tanzania for more traditional Big Five safari. Many European and Middle Eastern carriers operate direct flights to Kigali. Kenya Airways’ nonstop flight from New York is also an easy way to the region with a quick layover in Nairobi.
