Rwanda Chimpanzee and Gorilla Safari
Standing only feet away from two baby mountain gorillas wrestling each other is one of our most cherished wildlife encounters of all time. Being on foot and face-to-face with an enormous male silverback gorilla and his family, the planet’s most critically endangered primate, is so special it will leave an indelible mark on any visitor.
In Rwanda, these magnificent creatures are only found by trekking up the forested slopes of Volcanoes National Park. Primate enthusiasts have the chance to encounter black and white colobus, red-tailed, and golden monkeys, as well as baboons. You might consider extending your adventure to Nyungwe Forest to search for chimpanzees.
Accommodations near Volcanoes National Park are of the highest standard with some of the most luxurious, award-winning lodges in Africa.
In eastern Rwanda, guests can explore Akagera National Park, home to lions, rhinos, hippos, and Maasai giraffes.
Rwanda’s upscale and cosmopolitan capital, Kigali, is well connected by short flights from Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, making it an easy extension option for guests on safari in any of these countries.
