Rwanda National Parks: The Land of a Thousand Hills, a Million Wild Stories
Welcome to Rwanda National Parks, where misty volcanoes cradle endangered gorillas, ancient rainforests echo with chimpanzee calls, and golden savannahs shimmer with lions and elephants. Though compact in size, Rwanda is a giant in biodiversity and conservation success. Its four national parks—Volcanoes, Akagera, Nyungwe, and Gishwati-Mukura—offer a rare blend of wildlife, culture, and ecological wonder.
We invite you to explore Rwanda’s wild soul through immersive Wildlife Safaris, Gorilla Trekking, Birding Safaris, and Cultural Tours. Whether you’re tracking primates in the mist or cruising past hippos on a lake safari, Rwanda delivers experiences that are intimate, ethical, and unforgettable.
Located in the Virunga Mountains of northern Rwanda, this legendary park is home to one of the world’s last remaining populations of mountain gorillas. Trek through bamboo forests to meet these gentle giants face-to-face, and explore the legacy of Dian Fossey, golden monkey troops, and five dormant volcanoes. It’s Rwanda’s most iconic destination—and a pilgrimage for conservation travelers.
Rwanda’s newest national park is a symbol of ecological resilience. Once heavily deforested, Gishwati-Mukura is now a protected corridor for chimpanzees, golden monkeys, and over 230 bird species. With its rolling hills, community-led conservation, and quiet trails, it’s perfect for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path primate encounters and meaningful cultural exchange.
In Rwanda’s southwest, Nyungwe is one of Africa’s oldest rainforests and a biodiversity hotspot. Home to 13 primate species—including chimpanzees and the rare Rwenzori colobus—this park is a haven for hikers, birders, and nature lovers. Walk the famous canopy bridge, chase waterfalls, and explore over 130 km of trails in this lush, misty wonderland.
Eastern Rwanda’s only savannah park, Akagera is a conservation comeback story. Once decimated by poaching, it now boasts all of the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—alongside giraffes, zebras, hippos, and over 500 bird species. With boat safaris on Lake Ihema and classic Game Drives Safaris, Akagera is where Rwanda’s wild heart beats loudest.
