Rwanda Safaris

Rwanda is best known as the “land of a thousand hills”. Rwanda has transformed from a country scarred by one of the worst genocides in the recent past, to a model of hope, peace and good governance in Africa. The capital Kigali has neat city streets, 5 Star accommodations, good road networks while the countryside is characterized by beautiful rolling hills and green plantations.  The second largest city Butare referred to as “the intellectual capital of Rwanda” is hosts large institutions like the National University of Rwanda and national museum. The country’s wealth has increased since embracing industrialization, agricultural modernization, mining and tourism.

Tourism in Rwanda has well developed with several luxury facilities making it one of the top luxury destinations in Africa. The country has gone to great lengths to market her tourism resources. However, most visitors on a safari in Rwanda are attracted by the possibility of seeing mountain gorillas found in the Volcanoes national park. The park was made famous by research efforts culminating into the famous drama “Gorillas in the Mist”. The park itself is an expanse of remarkable green vegetation swarming with birds, butterflies, primates and other mammals. Gorilla trekking can also be done in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, but it is the quality of service and the proximity of the park to the capital Kigali that make visitors opt for a safari in Rwanda.
