This is Africa’s serene and most nearby, gorilla tracking in the main draw card of a Rwandan Safari. After arriving at the capital city of Kigali, you are only a few hours’ drive away from the mythical Volcanoes National Park and its familiar but still wild gorilla families.
Mountain gorillas’ behavior in Rwanda and the Virunga Volcanoes were studied by the late Dian Fossey for 20 years, trailed by the filmmakers who shot Gorillas in the Mist. Now small groups of private visitors can experience one of the most remarkable wildlife encounters on earth-gorilla trekking through the unspoiled Virunga’s rainforest.
Deep in the southwest, Nyungwe Forest is the most extensive montane rainforest in the region that is home to many primates including the world’s largest troops of Black and White Colobus Monkeys and Chimpanzees without forgetting Akagera National Park which gives an opportunity for game viewing in a distinct savannah setting.
Lake Kivu is one other great destination in Rwanda to enjoy boating on Lake Kivu, hiking, kayaking and chimp trekking, Lake Kivu is a dazzling expanse of water enclosed by Rwanda’s gradually rolling slopes. This is where the slagon name “the country of a thousand hills” came from because of the rolling countryside. On the shores of Lake Kivu are some of the best inland beaches on the continent.
Rwanda is all too often associated with the horrific events that unfolded in 1994 with the genocide of almost a million people. The country has taken giant strides towards recovery, forgiveness, and redemption. A city tour of modern and clean Kigali will take you to the genocide museum, which does a magnificent job explaining the history of the civil war and attempts to put a face on the countless lost.
