1. Soul Altering Experiences
2. The Heart of Rwanda: Kigali
Kigali, a clean and safe city, has transformed from its turbulent history to become one of Africa’s friendliest cities, making it an ideal starting point for a Rwanda Safari. From bustling shopping malls featuring boutiques and cafes to vibrant markets, Kigali is the heart of Rwanda. Perched on several hills, the city offers plenty to explore, making it worth spending a couple of days.
3. Easily Accessible & Simple to Combine with Other Destinations
Rwanda provides easy access to Gorilla Trekking, as Volcanoes National Park is only a short drive from the capital city of Kigali. This enables visitors to have authentic and unforgettable gorilla experiences. Furthermore, Rwanda can be easily paired with other popular Safari destinations like Kenya and Tanzania, offering a range of landscapes from expansive plains to pristine beaches in Zanzibar.
4. A Sustainable Safari
In the bamboo-covered slopes of Rwanda’s Virunga Volcanoes, Dian Fossey dedicated 20 years to studying endangered mountain gorillas, later depicted in “Gorillas in the Mist”. Today, visitors can experience unforgettable wildlife encounters and contribute to conservation efforts through Gorilla Trekking and engaging with local scientists in research spaces.
