Your adventure partner in Rwanda
Rwanda offers an enchanting fusion of emerald highlands and profound wildlife encounters, where you can experience soul-stirring moments with mountain gorillas in the mist of Volcanoes National Park, track wild chimpanzees through the ancient canopy of Nyungwe Forest, witness the Big Five roaming the savannahs of Akagera, and find serenity along the turquoise shores of Lake Kivu, all while discovering the vibrant pulse of Kigali and a nation that seamlessly blends conservation, resilience, and high-end luxury.
Our Take
We love Rwanda because it offers a soul-stirring “Mist-to-Metropolis” journey—where you can lock eyes with a mountain gorilla in the ancient volcanic heights by morning and enjoy a cosmopolitan rooftop dinner overlooking the sparkling, clean hills of Kigali by dusk.
Rwanda’s top destinations include the misty heights of Volcanoes National Park, the prehistoric canopy of Nyungwe Forest National Park, the Big Five savannahs of Akagera National Park, the serene turquoise waters of Lake Kivu, the historic streets and vibrant culture of Kigali, and the hidden volcanic wonders of the Musanze Caves.
Rwanda’s key experiences include trekking into the mist to encounter the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural fortress, suspended canopy walks high above the ancient Nyungwe rainforest, and tracking wild chimpanzees through the emerald undergrowth. Travelers can also witness the dramatic return of the Big Five to the savannahs of Akagera, find tranquility on a sunset kayak across Lake Kivu, and pay a moving tribute to resilience at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, all while staying in some of the world’s most exclusive eco-luxury forest lodges.
While Rwanda is a breathtaking year-round destination, the long dry season (June to September) is unrivaled for gorilla trekking and hiking the Virunga volcanoes, while the short dry season (December to February) offers clear skies and excellent trail conditions with more intimacy at the country’s premier forest retreats.
