Rwanda Safaris
If i were to give you reasons to travel to Rwanda for a tour, the list would definitely be endless. Rwanda safaris are undoubtedly one of the best in the continent but unfortunately not so many travelers have them on their travel bucket list. It is mainly tourists that wish to visit Mountain Gorillas that undertake safaris to Rwanda. These endangered primates are the face of the country's tourism industry and bring in the biggest share of revenue each year. They live in Volcanoes National Park, a gem that lies in the Virunga Conservation Area. This Rwanda safari park is not only a popular destination in Ruanda, but also carries a lot of history. It was the first national park to be gazetted in Africa hence, making it the oldest. This is the same park where Dian Fossey spent majority of her lifetime carrying out research on Mountain Gorillas and fighting for their conservation as well. Rwanda has abundance in three national parks with a possibility of having a fourth, harbors the big five game animals and has a high concentration of wildlife. Our Rwanda travel packages highlight some of the best holiday destinations along with interesting activities that you will definitely enjoy.

Rwanda Safari Packages
Rwanda has long been looked at as an extension for safaris from within because tourists believe there is not so much to spot there. This is wrong! There is just a lot you can see on your Rwanda safaris. Gorilla trekkers usually give it an edge over Uganda because of the short distance between Kigali City and Volcanoes National Park (just 3 hours away) and the smooth road network to all the national parks. If you are planning for a Rwanda travel holiday, below is some of the useful information that you ought to know.
Why take Rwanda Safaris?
Your primary reason for visiting Rwanda should be gorilla trekking or Chimpanzee trekking. Despite having a good number of wildlife in Akagera National Park, Rwanda is not so good for wildlife viewing compared to the rest of the East African countries. Trekking Mountain gorillas in Rwanda is one of the best experiences you will ever get and a must do. The experience is better than the one of Uganda and Congo because of short distance and good road networks.
Best time to travel to Rwanda
Despite being an all year round destination, the best time to go on Rwanda tours is definitely during the dry season. Rwanda apparently has two dry seasons which are; mid-December to early February which is the short dry season and June to late September which appears to be the long dry season. Any safaris arranged during this period of time will guarantee you the best hiking conditions. One good thing with Rwanda is their road network is very good and cars do not get stuck in mud while driving to national parks just as it is in Uganda. Schedule your Rwanda safari tours for this period if you want the best experience.
