Highlights & Experiences
From Cultural Treasures to Unique Natural Wonders – The Best of Your Destination
Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park
Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife experiences in the world. Early in the morning, you set out with experienced rangers, trekking through dense bamboo forests and steep slopes in search of these gentle giants. The moment you come face-to-face with a gorilla family is indescribable — their expressive eyes, gentle movements, and almost human-like presence make this encounter truly unforgettable. To protect these endangered primates, group sizes are strictly limited, ensuring an exclusive and respectful experience.
Beyond the gorillas, the Volcanoes region offers a breathtaking backdrop of extinct volcanoes, lush vegetation, and a diverse array of birdlife. For those who wish to delve deeper into the world of gorillas, a visit to the Dian Fossey Research Center provides fascinating insights into the groundbreaking work that revolutionized our understanding of these incredible creatures.

Chimpanzee Trekking in Nyungwe National Park
Nyungwe National Park is one of Rwanda’s most spectacular natural treasures and a must-visit for anyone wanting to encounter chimpanzees in the wild. At dawn, you set off with experienced rangers, venturing deep into the dense montane rainforest, following the calls of the primates. Unlike the calm and gentle gorillas, chimpanzees are constantly on the move—they swing through the trees, communicate loudly, and disappear into the dense foliage in an instant.
Observing them up close offers a fascinating glimpse into their complex social interactions. Beyond chimpanzees, Nyungwe is home to several other primate species, rare birds, and the spectacular Canopy Walk, a suspension bridge high above the rainforest canopy. A truly unique adventure for wildlife and nature lovers!
Safari in Akagera National Park – Rwanda’s Wild East
Rwanda is famous for its lush rainforests, but Akagera National Park reveals an entirely different side of the country: endless savannas, rolling grasslands, and shimmering lakes. Here, you can experience classic safari moments—but without the crowds found in many other African national parks.
Akagera is home to the Big Five: lions roam the open plains, elephants bathe along the shores of Lake Ihema, and leopards move silently through the tall grasses. Giraffes, zebras, and antelopes are a common sight, while crocodiles and hippos dominate the waterways.
For an unforgettable experience, embark on a morning game drive or take a boat safari, where you’ll witness the park’s thriving ecosystem from a whole new perspective.
Kigali Genocide Memorial – A Place of Remembrance and Understanding
The Kigali Genocide Memorial is more than just a museum—it is a profoundly moving place of remembrance that deeply touches and encourages reflection. While it honors one of Rwanda’s darkest chapters, it also tells a story of reconciliation, resilience, and hope.
Visitors gain a powerful insight into the 1994 genocide, with personal testimonies, photographs, and deeply moving exhibits bringing history to life. One of the most poignant aspects of the memorial is the mass graves, where over 250,000 victims have been laid to rest.
Despite its tragic past, the memorial also conveys the strength of Rwanda’s renewal. A visit is not easy, but it is an essential experience for anyone seeking to truly understand Rwanda’s remarkable journey toward healing and unity.
