Safaris and Tours in Rwanda
Rwanda; the land of a thousand hills. Most known for the mountain gorillas and the book and film ‘Gorillas in the Mist’. In Volcanoes National Park, where the volcanic Virunga Mountains embrace the greenery, you will come face to face with the awe-inspiring mountain gorilla during a gorilla trekking adventure. Undeniably a special experience! But Rwanda has much more to offer than these ‘gentle giants’. The savannah plains of Akagera National Park offer the setting for classic African safaris with a chance to see the Big Five. The mystic rainforest jungle of Nyungwe Forest National Park is home to chimpanzees and other unique monkeys and offers enthusiasts of extensive hikes a wide selection of marked trails. In addition to its impressive landscape, Rwanda also offers a fascinating cultural experience. Explore the historical past at the Kigali Genocide Memorial and experience the warm hospitality of the local people, who are proud of their traditions and resilience.

Rwanda is a tiny country by African standards. Yet it is a country where you can enjoy a very varied African trip. We ensure that all logistical aspects, such as transport and accommodation, are well organized. We also arrange the permits for the gorilla trekking and other activities. So, all you will have to do is to enjoy yourself. With Greenway Nature Tours Africa, you are not just booking a trip to Rwanda; you are choosing knowledge and experience. In close consultation, we put together your ideal trip – perhaps this is a combination of Rwanda and neighboring Uganda!
Best Rwanda Safari Packages
Private safari
In Rwanda, you travel in private 4×4 Safari Landcruiser with a retractable roof, accompanied by an English-speaking driver guide. Your tour guide travels with you for the entire trip, getting to know your interests increasingly well. This allows him to make your Rwanda travel experience even more special and tailor it to what makes you happy. Whether that is leaving extra early. Stopping at a colorful market along the way. Or taking a detour for a beautiful view of Lake Kivu. With a private Rwanda safari, you enjoy a great deal of freedom and flexibility.
Gorilla trekking
Rwanda or Uganda? Although gorilla permits in Uganda are very cheap when compare to Rwanda, Rwanda offers clear advantages if you are limited in travel time or prefer shorter driving distances. Volcanoes National Park is located about 2-hour drive from Kigali city via a good, paved road. Rwanda is compact yet diverse and offers more than just gorillas. In a relatively short time, you can experience a complete trip featuring gorillas, golden monkeys chimpanzees, and the Big Five animals.
Enjoy to the fullest
In some places in Rwanda, the accommodation options are limited to simple or, conversely, high-end options. It is precisely these exclusive lodges that are often situated in unique locations with views of the savannah, tea plantations, forests, or volcanoes. After an impressive safari or gorilla trek or chimpanzee trekking adventure, you can enjoy personal service and culinary delights here in complete comfort. Many Rwanda lodges actively contribute to nature conservation and local communities, making your stay not only luxurious but also meaningful.
The Big Seven
During a complete tour of Rwanda, you can not only admire the iconic primates – gorillas and chimpanzees – but you also have the chance to spot the Big Five. From the vast savannas of Akagera National Park with lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos, to the cloud forests of Nyungwe National Park and the volcanoes of Volcanoes National Park where you can come face-to-face with chimpanzees and mountain gorillas – it is precisely this combination that makes Rwanda unique!
