Rwanda Travel Guide Details
If you’re considering going on an African Safari, a Safari In Rwanda is one of the major highlights. The country of Rwanda is also known as the ‘Land of a thousand mountains and hills.’ The below Rwanda Travel Guide will offer useful insights for your trip.
Best Season to visit Rwanda
The Dry Season (from June to September) is usually regarded as the best time for a safari. It’s a great time to witness mountain gorillas because the hiking trails are great. Also, the risk of malaria is low in the dry season.
Yet, you can travel to Rwanda in other seasons as well. Though it may be challenging to hike up the mountains, so keep all the essential equipment handy.
Activities to do in Rwanda
The following are the top 5 activities to do on a Rwanda Safari Trip:
- Brilliant encounters with mountain gorillas and other wildlife.
- Trekking in Volcanoes National Park.
- Learn the rich Rwanda Culture in Kigali.
- Boating tours on Lake Kivu.
- Witness the primates of Gishwati Mukura National Park (like blue and golden monkeys, and chimpanzees)
The Wildlife of Rwanda
Akagera National Park is home to a variety of Rwanda Wildlife. They include antelopes, elephants, zebras, monkeys, cape buffaloes, baboons, giraffes, and many more. And, Volcanoes National Park is home to approximately one-third of the worldwide population of mountain gorillas.
