ABOUT
Rwanda
Rwanda brings together forested volcanic slopes, tropical rainforest and open savannah within one small country. Best known for mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, it offers the chance to explore the misty Virunga Mountains you may recognise from wildlife documentaries. A Rwanda safari can also take you into Nyungwe’s forests to look for chimpanzees and onto Akagera’s plains for Big Five wildlife viewing, with plenty to discover along the way.
