Affectionately known as, “Land of a Thousand Hills”, Rwanda offers a uniquely comprehensive experience, from rainforest and imposing volcanic peaks to East Africa styled safari, having outstanding scenic savannah dotted with floodplains.

Rwanda has shown great courage in recovering from the memory of the 1994 Rwandan genocide to emerge into the stable, well-run and peacefully united country that it is today.

Rwanda’s absolute highlight is access to trek and spend time with the highly-endangered mountain gorilla. It has opened up the world to organised and safe primate viewing especially when measured against the experience available in its neighbours. The gorilla trekking here caters for many individual levels of fitness and can be tailored to your needs. Some stunning and exciting new accommodations are now available, with some still in progress, and visitors are guaranteed unspoilt wilderness, pure luxury and exceptionally high chances of seeing the protected mountain gorilla. While not guaranteed, the gorilla troops are monitored for their protection; therefore, their whereabouts are generally known and shared by conservation guards.

Rwanda hosts thousands of plant species, over 650 bird species and a plethora of reptiles and amphibians, and even with the impressive 151 mammal species including no less than 15 primates; it's the people that create the experience. Surprising to many, savannah-based 'Big 5' game viewing is also available and becoming popular in Rwanda.

A vibrant and friendly culture with an incredible story to tell. Rwanda holds much in her peoples' history, and the value of tourism and conservation to this incredibly diverse land is positive and remarkable.

Rwanda's main airport in the capital city of Kigali offers easy daily connections into East African countries of Tanzania and Kenya for visitors wishing to combine their highly-engaging gorilla safari with the Great Migration, Zanzibar or some of the other well-known and top national parks for wildlife viewing. Safari Guru understands the best connections and safari offerings to combine Bisate Lodge or One & Only Gorilla's Nest with well-suited luxury camp creating a well-rounded and rewarding safari experience.
