Rwanda Gorilla Tours - Gorilla Trekking Safaris, Primates Tours in Rwanda, Africa
|
A new addition to the East African safari circuit is the tiny country of Rwanda. Despite a troubled past, it’s now opening its borders to international travellers wanting specifically to go on a gorilla track. We are often asked when is the best time to travel to Rwanda on safari, see the wildlife in the national parks, what the climate there is like and when it rains. With our expertise we know that we can answer all your questions and help you book your dream safari to Rwanda.
Rwanda is a beautiful country. It was on the bamboo-covered slopes of Rwanda’s Virunga Volcanoes that the late Dian Fossey studied the behaviour of the endangered mountain gorilla for 20 years, followed by the filmmakers who shot 'Gorillas in the Mist' on the same location. Join us for a Rwanda safari, and discover a country that is today embracing a bright new future, and offers one of the most memorable wildlife encounters on earth. |

For a holiday in such a small country there's a lot to do and to see: choose from our wide range of Rwanda Tours and Safaris and prepare for a seriously good wildlife experience.
Most of Rwanda's tours and safaris take in gorilla trekking in the fabled Volcanoes National Park and Rwanda's close geographical and ecological ties to Uganda means that many of Rwanda's gorilla trekking tours and safaris encompass aspects of both countries.
But don't forget that there are other great wildlife destinations too such as the Primates Packed Nyungwe Forest National Park and the classic East African savannahs of the Akagera National Park.
You can also add onto your trip to Rwanda other East African safari destinations with a stopover at Rwanda's closest neighbours, Uganda, another place to trek the endangered mountain gorilas, Tanzania or Kenya -renowned for the big five and the coastal beaches. Perhaps you could finish off with a few days relaxing on one of Kenya's beaches or exploring spicy Zanzibar after all that clambering around in the rainforest...
If you can't find what you're looking for then perhaps you need a completely customised Rwanda tour - contact our Rwanda safari experts and they'll tailor-make a tour or safari to suit your needs, dates and budget. |

Facts about the Endangered Mountain Gorillas in Parc National des Volcans
Rwanda is home to nearly half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world. with only about 720 mountain gorillas thriving in the forests of Uganda, Rwanda and congo, trekking the mountain gorillas is one of the most unique wildlife encounters, one can have on this earth!
Trekking amongst the mountain gorillas of Rwanda is a heartwarming and memorable life changing experience - one of the richest and exciting experiences on earth. Each visit immerses you in the gorilla's kingdom, surrounding you with fantastic views of bamboo forests, lush jungle and the exotic sounds of turraco bird calls and the chatter of golden monkeys. Gorilla Trekking is a worthwhile adventure and Africa’s indisputable safari highlight.
The lush and forested slopes form a dramatic natural setting for your face-to-face encounter with the gorillas. Trekking with these gentle giants through the damp, misty undergrowth gives you the adventurous experience of the first explorers. And standing amongst them as they eat, play, groom and rest - acting in every way like our own families - will take your breath away and leave you smiling for ages.
Meeting mountain gorillas in their misty natural habitat, where the courageous and famous American primatologist Dian Fossey lived, died and was buried while protecting them, is a privilege one shouldn't miss in life. As Sir David Attenborough said, "There is more meaning and understanding in exchanging a glance with a gorilla than any other animal I know."
