Discover Rwanda with Wild Roots Africa Safaris

Rwanda is a small country with an incredible amount to discover. Known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, it is home to misty mountain forests, beautiful lakes, fascinating cultures and some of East Africa’s most memorable wildlife experiences.

At Wild Roots Africa Safaris, we help you explore Rwanda at your own pace, with safari experiences planned around your interests, travel dates and preferred style of travel.

Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda

For many travellers, the highlight of visiting Rwanda is gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Walking through the beautiful Virunga Mountains in search of mountain gorillas is a truly special experience. Spending time observing these remarkable animals in their natural forest environment can be one of the most memorable moments of an African safari.

Volcanoes National Park also offers opportunities for golden monkey trekking, hiking and nature experiences surrounded by dramatic volcanic scenery.

Wildlife and Primate Experiences

Rwanda offers more than gorillas. Nyungwe National Park is a spectacular rainforest destination known for chimpanzee trekking and a variety of other primates and bird species. Forest walks provide a chance to experience Rwanda’s lush landscapes while discovering the remarkable biodiversity of the region.

For traditional wildlife safaris, Akagera National Park offers a very different landscape. Open savannah, lakes and wetlands provide a home for elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos and many other animals. Game drives and boat trips offer different ways to explore the park.

Culture and Scenic Experiences

Rwanda’s natural beauty is closely connected to its people and culture. Cultural experiences can introduce you to local traditions, food, crafts and everyday life while giving you a deeper understanding of the country.

Lake Kivu is another wonderful place to slow down after an active safari. Its peaceful shores, surrounding hills and beautiful sunsets make it ideal for travellers looking for a relaxing escape.
