Rwanda Destinations

Rwanda is small enough to cross in a day, yet it holds volcanoes, rainforest, savannah and one of Africa's Great Lakes. Most trips start in Kigali and centre on Volcanoes National Park, adding one or two other regions.

Volcanoes National Park

Rwanda's home of the mountain gorilla: five volcanoes, bamboo forest and the old Karisoke research camp of Dian Fossey.

Nyungwe National Park

Ancient montane rainforest in the south-west: chimpanzees, 13 primate species and a walkway through the canopy.

Akagera National Park

Rwanda's Big Five savannah park in the east: lions, rhinos, elephants, game drives and boat trips on Lake Ihema.

Lake Kivu

Beaches, islands and coffee farms on one of Africa's Great Lakes — the ideal rest stop after gorilla trekking.

Kigali

Rwanda's clean, safe and walkable capital: memorials, markets, galleries and the start of every trip.
