From misty gorilla forests in the Virunga volcanoes to the sweeping savannah plains of Akagera, Rwanda offers one of Africa's most intimate and rewarding safari experiences — all in a country the size of a postcard.
Rwanda is one of Africa's most remarkable safari destinations — a country that has quietly emerged as one of the continent's most rewarding and sophisticated travel experiences. From the mist-shrouded peaks of the Virunga volcanoes to the sweeping acacia-dotted plains of Akagera National Park, Rwanda packs an astonishing variety of landscapes, wildlife, and culture into its rolling green hills.
