Rwanda – Gorilla safari & Wildlife tours, Africa safari destination

Rwanda about the size of Wales is a small land locked country on the highest African plateau. Rwanda is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa famously referred to as a land of a thousand hills stretch in the horizon, the undulating hills and mountains ever covered in the mist as one will witness every morning hence the saying “Gorillas in the Mist”.

The country rates very highly as one of Africa’s tourist destinations hosting part of the worlds renown Mountain Gorillas in their very natural bamboo habitat. Rwanda like her neighboring Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, shares and protects the remaining 720 world’s mountain gorillas that have made the trio countries famous as tourist and safari destinations. Gorilla trekking is done in five groups/families within bamboo covered slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes.

This is where for 20 years; the late Diana Fossey based her research on the behaviors of the endangered mountain gorilla species. It is here still that the film makers shot the movie “Gorillas in the Mist”.

The country offers a number of tourist attractions namely mountain gorilla trekking in Parc National des Volcans, the historical genocide sights in Kigali for sight seeing tours, Nyungwe forest for chimpanzee tracking, Akagera for wildlife viewing, Lake Kivu for excellent sight seeing and volcanic sites for nature walks.
