Wildlife Tours in Rwanda

Wildlife Tours in Rwanda have become synonymous with the Mountain Gorilla. Half of the world’s remaining population of the highly endangered primate live here. They are found only in the forests of the Virunga Mountains that cover not only Rwanda but Uganda and the democratic Republic of Congo. A trek into these mountains gets you close to a habituated group of Mountain Gorillas and a very special experience.

But there is more to excite in Rwanda that just Mountain Gorillas, particularly for birdwatchers. The country contains 44 of the Albertine rift bird endemics. It is here that you can see such desirable birds as Ruwenzori Turaco and the beautiful Red Throated Sunbird.

Over 50% of Africa’s biodiverse wildlife can be found in this relatively tiny state and the range of habitats is extensive. To continue the journey to see some of Africa’s iconic primates you can visit Nyungwe Forest National Park where you will find Chimpanzees, Colobus Monkeys and a memorably canopy walkway that will get your adrenalin flowing. Then, in Volcanoes National Park, you will find Golden Monkeys who will come out to play and Mountain Elephants are also present.

In the wide-open savannahs of Akagera National Park lions roam, making life somewhat uncomfortable for the nimble East African Impalas. In the Park’s Lake Ihema hippopotamus wallow where Cape Buffalo come down to drink.
