Travel to Rwanda
The land of a thousand hills
Rwanda’s unique environment and kind, welcoming people provide one-of-a-kind experiences. This is a country characterized by its impressive biodiversity, volcanoes, and highland rainforests that are home to the gorillas. There is more to green and hilly Rwanda than meets the eye: it is also home to the primate-filled Nyungwe Forest National Park, where boisterous chimps frolic. And in low lying easter Rwanda, Akagera National Park offers big game viewing in a diverse savannah setting.
A NOTE FROM THE EXPERTS
Kigali is clean, safe and has risen from its tumultuous past to become one of Africa’s friendliest cities and the perfect starting point of a Rwanda safari. This is the beating heart of Rwanda.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
You can experience one of the most memorable wildlife encounters on Earth and also actively participate in the gargantuan efforts to save the species – gorilla trekking and engaging with local scientists in their innovative research spaces.
OUR FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR TO GO
The best time to visit Rwanda is during the dry season of June to September. This is also the best time of year to see mountain gorillas in Rwanda as these periods offer the best hiking conditions.
INSIDER TIP
Consider exploring the country’s rich cultural heritage by visiting traditional villages and engaging with local communities. Rwanda’s cultural experiences, such as drumming performances, dance rituals, and artisan workshops, provide invaluable insights into the country’s history and traditions.
