Welcome to Rwanda

Rwanda, known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," is one of Africa's most remarkable conservation success stories.

This small but stunning country is home to mountain gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park, made famous by Dian Fossey's groundbreaking research. Rwanda's commitment to conservation and sustainable tourism has made it a premier destination for primate tracking.

Beyond gorillas, Rwanda offers golden monkey tracking, chimpanzee encounters, beautiful landscapes, and a rich cultural heritage. The country's clean cities, excellent infrastructure, and warm hospitality make it an ideal safari destination.
