Rwanda Safaris – The Land of a Thousand Hills and Mountain Gorillas

Rwanda is one of Africa’s most stunning and unique safari destinations. Nicknamed the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” Rwanda offers breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences on Earth — tracking mountain gorillas in the misty rainforests of Volcanoes National Park.

But there’s more to Rwanda than just gorillas. You can explore savannah wildlife in Akagera National Park, walk the treetops in Nyungwe Forest, and learn about the country’s powerful history and culture in the vibrant city of Kigali.
