Welcome to Rwanda, the Land of the Thousand Hills, where the people are warm and friendly and natural wonders abound.
Blessed with extraordinary biodiversity, this Central African country has incredible wildlife living throughout its volcanoes, montane rainforest and sweeping plains. The cloud forest of Parc National des Volcans is home to the critically endangered mountain gorilla which, once on the brink of extinction, has increased in number thanks to the conservation work begun there by Dian Fossey. Tracking these captivating primates through the rainforest is a challenging adventure but thoroughly life-changing.
While the magnificent mountain gorilla is Rwanda’s most famous attraction, there is much more to see and experience: Akagera National Park where lion and eastern black rhino have been reintroduced to the ecosystem; Nyungwe Forest, one of the oldest in Africa, which is home to 13 different primate species, as well as more than 300 bird and more than 75 different mammal species.
In addition to offering some of Africa’s most outstanding wildlife experiences, Rwanda is also one of the continent’s most progressive societies with a clear, sustainable vision for its future and a deep desire to protect its natural treasures.

Rwanda’s dry season (June to September) is the most comfortable time for gorilla tracking when the jungle is drier. However, availability of gorilla tracking permits will ultimately determine when you can travel. Rains tend to be heaviest between March and May, with a short rainy season in November.
