EXOTIC RAINFORESTS, MYSTICAL GORILLAS, UNBELIEVABLE SCENERY

Rwanda is known as ‘The Land of a Thousand Hills’ with lush green landscapes interspersed with towering mountains and ancient rainforests.  Rwanda tops the bucket list for wildlife enthusiasts and wanderlust explorers alike thanks to the privileged opportunities it offers to get up close to some of the world’s most loved and endangered creatures including the rare mountain gorillas and golden monkeys that inhabit the isolated slopes of the Volcanoes National Park.  Local guides will lead you on a private trek to spot these beautiful creatures up close as they play in their natural surroundings, deep inside Rwanda’s lush rainforests.  Your guide will explain Rwanda’s unique relationship with these wonderful primates, including the vital conversation of the region and how treks help to support their remote native communities.

Stay in a peaceful eco-lodge nestled within the lush mountain landscape with uninterrupted views across your surroundings, close to the endangered gorilla community that eco-tourism helps to support and nurture.

Rwanda is not only about spotting mountain gorillas. Head to the rolling plains of Akagera and embark on an exclusive big-game safari to spot some of the other native wildlife who roam free and enjoy more primate adventures with a trek in the misty rainforests of the Nyungwe National Park.

When your wildlife encounters leave you ready for some quiet relaxation, the calm and tranquil shores of Lake Kivu are the ideal place to recuperate as you reflect on the wonders of this incredible East African wonderland.
