Africa’s Most Accessible Gorilla Trekking
Rwanda’s unique environment and kind, welcoming people provide one-of-a-kind experiences. This is a country characterized by its impressive biodiversity, volcanoes, and highland rainforests that are home to the gorillas. Rarely experienced in isolation, a Rwanda gorilla trekking safari combines well with other East African destinations such as Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania.
There is more to green and hilly Rwanda than meets the eye: it is also home to the primate-filled Nyungwe Forest National Park, where boisterous chimpanzees frolic and the skies are filled with a myriad of birds. And in low lying eastern Rwanda, Akagera National Park offers big game viewing in a diverse savannah setting with safari heavyweights including lions and elephants. Here are some of our best reasons to go on a Rwanda safari:

Rwanda offers world-class primate tracking amid lush hills and towering peaks. Home to over half of the world’s mountain gorillas, it’s a top destination for unforgettable encounters with these rare primates. Explore Volcanoes & Nyungwe parks, track chimps, golden monkeys, and learn about Dian Fossey.
Of Rwanda
Kigali is clean, safe, and welcoming—an ideal start to any Rwanda safari. From hilltop views and lively markets to cafés and cultural hubs, it’s a vibrant city with much to explore. Visit art villages, sip Fair-Trade coffee, attend festivals, and reflect at the Genocide Memorial Centre.
On the bamboo-covered slopes of Rwanda’s Virunga Volcanoes, Dian Fossey studied mountain gorillas for 20 years. Today, you can trek to see these rare primates and engage with scientists at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund’s campus—an unforgettable blend of wildlife, research, and conservation in action.
Compact and easy to explore, Rwanda offers the most accessible gorilla trekking. Just a short drive from Kigali, you’ll reach Volcanoes National Park for unforgettable encounters. Easily combine Rwanda with Kenya, Tanzania, or Zanzibar for Big Five safaris or beach escapes.
