The mountain gorillas of Africa live in Rwanda. For the Rwanda gorilla safari tourist package, see Volcanoes National Park. Nyungwe Forest National Park has chimpanzees, while Akagera National Park has a wide variety of species, including lions. While on safari with Wild Whispers Africa, be sure to visit Rwanda's rich cultural history.
Even though Rwanda is a small country, it is one of the most scenic destinations in the world. Tourists hoping for an African safari packages experience will find the land of a thousand hills ideal. There are various gems to be found here, as well as breathtaking scenery. After just one visit, you'll want to return again and again.
Explore the beauty of Lake Kivu and the Nyungwe Forest
While gorillas are the primary reason most people visit Rwanda, there is much more to see in tourist packages. Although in fewer numbers, the usual African savannah species can be seen in Akagera National Park. Africa's largest montane forest, Nyungwe Forest, is located in Rwanda. The park's winding trails and waterfalls make hiking, bird watching, and seeing non-gorilla primates like Colobus monkeys and chimpanzees easier. Nyungwe Forest is also home to the Nile's source. This lake, which borders the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a beautiful place to visit. Please relax and enjoy boat cruises, water sports, and swimming in the lake as terraced farmland slopes surround it.
Combine Rwanda with Virunga and kahuzi-biega's national parks in the eastern DRC
It is possible to combine a Rwandan mountain gorilla safari package with a trip to the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo by visiting Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. You'll need two or three days to ascend and descend the Nyiragongo volcano if you choose Goma, DRC, as a base. Gisenyi, Rwanda, is a short drive away. Goma is an ideal starting point for a day trip to the DRC's Kahuzi-Biega National Park, where you may go on a gorilla safari through the Eastern Lowlands. When visiting Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, Lake Kivu, Kahuzi-Biega National Park, and the DRC's Mount Nyiragongo and Virunga National Parks, plan on spending 10 days.
Rwanda's Best Time to Visit
The optimum time to go gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcanoes and chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe forest is when:
Most people flock to Rwanda's mountains to see Africa's best views. For mountain gorilla monitoring, the Virunga Volcanoes are well-known as the ideal location. Nyungwe Forest is one of Central Africa's largest mountainous forests. Chimpanzees and Colobus monkeys share this sanctuary. There is never a bad time to visit.
Rwanda's climate
The elevation gives the country a tropical highland climate with 14°C temps. Altitude causes temperature differences between locations. Except for the peaks, daytime temperatures average 30°C. Short (mid-October to November) and long (mid-May to mid-October) rainfall alternate with short (December to mid-March) and long dry periods (mid-March to mid-May). In northeastern Rwanda, it rains more than elsewhere. The lush vegetation during the rainy season gives for a fantastic photo opportunity. Each season has its dates and times, so there's no optimal time to visit Rwanda.
Animals of Rwanda
Visit Rwanda's volcanoes, where you can observe mountain gorillas up close on safari packages. Elephants, golden monkeys, and buffaloes are some of the other animals seen in the park. Though it's dry season, the best time to sight these animals is between the middle of December and the beginning of March (mid-May to mid-October). On the other hand, these are visited any time of year.
The cost of a Rwandan safari
Flight prices are higher during the peak season than during the off-season. The annual park costs remain the same regardless of the season. In the rainy season, several resorts offer affordable rates (March, November, May, and October). Other inns maintain their rates year-round.
