What makes Rwanda an ideal safari destination?
Rwanda—known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills”—offers breathtaking scenery, rich biodiversity, and a vibrant culture. Highlights include gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, wildlife drives in Akagera, primate encounters in Nyungwe Forest, and scenic vistas at Lake Kivu
When is the best time to visit Rwanda?
The prime safari periods are during the dry seasons: June to September and December to February, which offer warm, manageable conditions ideal for gorilla trekking and wildlife viewing.
However, March to May and October to November bring beautiful lush landscapes, fewer tourists, discounted gorilla permits, and excellent birdwatching opportunities—making it a great choice for budget-conscious or nature-focused travellers.

Volcanoes National Park: Famous for gorilla trekking and golden monkey sightings
Nyungwe Forest National Park: A montane rainforest home to chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, over 300 bird species, and a canopy walkway.
Akagera National Park: Rwanda’s savannah offering a “Big Five” game drive experience amid lakes, wetlands, and woodlands.
What activities can travellers enjoy in Rwanda beyond wildlife safaris?
Cultural Encounters: Visit local villages, enjoy traditional dance performances, and learn about Rwanda’s post‑genocide recovery.
