The “land of a thousand hills,” Rwanda is a jewel that is often overlooked. Its people offer a true testimony to the resilience of humankind, having put into practice a reconciliation that can be a lesson for the rest of the world.
From the somber halls of the Genocide Museum in Kigali to the lush rainforests of Virunga, a Rwandan safari is a truly unique African experience. Trekking to see the Silverback gorillas is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Listen closely and the thumping of their chests will draw you ever closer.
There’s no other way to say it: Rwanda is pure magic.
The small country of Rwanda is a breathtaking country and there is a lot to experience. Most people come to Rwanda for a gorilla trek. While it is considered a year-round activity, the best times to go are during the dry seasons from mid-December to early February and from June to September. Rwanda safaris and gorilla treks are possible during the rainy seasons but there can be a lot of mud and enough rain to make it a difficult trek. Conversely, going to visit the chimpanzees in Nyungwe is best when during the rains as the chimps are easier to locate in the forest.
Our selection of camps, lodges, and resorts are situated in prime locations, maximizing the experience of your Rwandan safaris. Secluded and picturesque, they’ll immediately transport you to a different state of mind. Each location offers exceptional standards of service. And more important, they all take conservation seriously. Not only do they make as small a footprint as possible, but they aim to give back to the communities and ecosystems in which they exist.
