Rwanda safaris
Rwanda, also known as the land of a thousand hills, is located in East Africa, bordering Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Places to visit during your Rwanda safari
Rwanda has three most visited safari destinations that you shouldn’t miss out during your safari in Rwanda, including
Volcanoes National Park, which is the most visited national park, is located in the northern part of Rwanda in Musanze village. Volcanoes National Park offers interesting safari activities that clients can engage in during the safari, including mountain gorilla trekking, golden monkey trekking, hiking Mount Karisimbi and Bisoke, Dian Fossey grave hikes, visiting the twin lakes of Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo, visiting the Musanze caves, and cultural encounters, among others.
Nyungwe Forest National Park is the second best-visited national park in Rwanda, located in the Albertine Rift southeast of Lake Kivu. The national park is famously known for harboring 13 primate species and offers adventurous activities like chimpanzee trekking, monkey tracking, canopy and forest walks, biking through the Congo Nile trail, and bird watching, as it’s the best birding place in Rwanda, among others.
Akagera National Park is the only savannah national park in Rwanda, located in the eastern part, about 2 to 3 hours’ drive from the capital city, Kigali. Akagera National Park offers incredible safari activities like day and night game drives, guided nature walks, boat cruises on Lake Ihema, sport fishing on Lake Shakani, and cultural tours, among others.
Rwanda is one of the destinations that offers the shortest safari packages for clients who have limited time and still want to have a great safari experience, for example, 1-day gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, 1-day Akagera National Park, 2-day Rwanda gorilla safaris, 2-day Nyungwe chimpanzee trekking tours, among others.
Best time to go on a Rwanda safari
Clients can go on a Rwanda safari all year round, though the best time is during the dry season in the months of June, July, August, September, December, January, and February because during this period there is less rainfall in the national parks; therefore, trekking trails will be passable compared to the wet season when the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking trails are muddy and slippery.
Safari destinations in Rwanda can easily be accessible with smooth and well-maintained roads; hence, clients will not be able to drive for long hours, which makes Rwanda one of the best destinations to visit in Africa.
