Rwanda Safari Packages
On the slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes everything whispers. In the eerie acoustics of these cloud forests, sound is camouflaged. Birdsong filters through leaves to a trickling susurration. A stream mutters somewhere, barely audible. Forest decay muffles our footsteps. The guide stops and holds his finger to his lips.
‘They are close,’ he whispers. ‘I can smell them.’
We stand in the track like children playing statues. Then the guide beckons us forward and we start again, treading with exaggerated care. The trackers have appeared out of the bush in front of us, and point to a glen of waist-high greenery. We wade downhill, pushing through ferns and new bamboo, and suddenly, there before me, barely three metres away, is an enormous mountain gorilla.
Hiking In Rwanda
With Rwanda’s mountainous terrain earning it the title of “The Land of a Thousand Hills”, the lush, mist-shrouded forests that cloak the country’s volcanic peaks provide safe haven for rare mountain gorillas, golden monkeys and chimpanzees. This is, quite simply, one of the best places on Earth to meet some of mankind’s closest relatives.
Enjoy an incredible once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter, trekking with expert local guides and trackers through the mist-shrouded forests and bamboo thickets of Volcanoes National Park in search of Rwanda’s famous primates. The privilege of observing these gentle giants in their natural habitat is a bucket-list experience you’ll never forget!
Search for lions and abundant birdlife in Akagera National Park, Rwanda’s only protected savannah; spend a day at beautiful freshwater Lake Kivu, one of African’s Great Lakes; and trek the stunning Bisoke Volcano, where you may be lucky enough to spot a silverback in the wild.
Finally, reflect upon Rwanda’s tragic past at the moving Genocide Memorial; and support sustainable tourism initiatives with local handicrafts, cultural performances and village visits. Join us as we explore beautiful Rwanda!
