Rwanda, famously known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” offers an unparalleled combination of stunning scenery and warm, welcoming people, making it one of the most remarkable countries in Africa. With its extraordinary biodiversity, Rwanda is home to a wide array of wildlife living across its volcanic mountains, lush montane rainforests, and expansive plains. A highlight of any trip is trekking through Volcanoes National Park, one of Africa’s oldest national parks, to see the iconic mountain gorillas. Thanks to the pioneering work of Dian Fossey in the 1960s, you can spend an unforgettable hour with these gentle giants, with whom we share about 98% of our DNA.

For a truly diverse wildlife experience, combine visits to Nyungwe Forest and Akagera National Parks. Trekking chimpanzees and observing 13 other primate species in Nyungwe, along with the opportunity to embark on classic safaris to spot the Big Five in Akagera, makes Rwanda an exceptional destination for nature lovers. The country’s natural beauty is matched by its inspiring resilience and vibrant culture.

Having emerged from the tragedy of genocide, Rwanda is now one of the safest countries in Africa, ranking 9th globally for safety. This peaceful nation is a place you can trust to deliver a life-changing experience. At Hooves Of Africa Safaris, we ensure your tailored Rwandan safari will be truly exceptional, leaving you with memories—and a piece of your heart—forever in Africa.
