Safari Holidays in Rwanda

Luxury safari and Gorilla Tracking in Rwanda. Book with award winning Tour Operator - Imagine Africa

The 'Land of a Thousand Hills', Rwanda is a small and impressively mountainous country in the heart of Africa. Lying between the ecosystems of the Congo Basin and the Great Rift Valley, it shares the natural riches of both - resulting in a country of exquisite beauty and unsurpassed biodiversity.

Rwanda's captivating natural features offer some hard-to-beat experiences, from the mountain gorillas in the Parc National des Volcans, to the primate nirvana of Nyungwe Forest - a unique rainforest national park which has 25% of Africa's primate species, including chimpanzees and colobus monkeys, which have been seen in troops of over three hundred.

Urban centres such as Butare and the capital Kigali have forged ahead, opening new places to stay, eat, drink, dance and meet the local population, while the shoreline of Lake Kivu in the west has developed some simple but attractive lodges and hotels to cater for the increasing number of visitors.

With Rwanda now a prosperous, vibrant, safe and energetic nation, the opportunity to engage with the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' should not be missed.
