Our Destination Experts describe their favorite places and ways to visit Rwanda from their personal travel experience.
Clean, contemporary, and quietly captivating, Kigali is one of Africa’s most progressive capitals. Rolling hills cradle this dynamic city, where bustling markets, chic cafes, and lively art galleries meet poignant history at the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Safe, green, and effortlessly welcoming, Kigali is more than a gateway to Rwanda’s wild places — it’s a destination in its own right, blending culture, resilience, and modern African charm.
From savanna to rainforest, Rwanda’s wild soul comes alive in its wilderness areas. Akagera National Park surprises with classic game drives, river safaris, and lions on the plains. Meanwhile, Nyungwe Forest enchants with ancient canopies, waterfall trails, and Africa’s best chimpanzee tracking. Cross the famed canopy walkway or listen for colobus monkeys in the treetops. Together, these parks offer a thrilling contrast of landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
In Rwanda’s mist-cloaked Volcanoes National Park, ancient peaks rise from emerald forests, sheltering the last mountain gorillas. Trek through bamboo thickets and tangled jungle to encounter these magnificent creatures up close — a rare, humbling privilege. Beyond the gorillas, Volcanoes offers golden monkey trekking, a chance to visit Dian Fossey’s historic research sites, and breathtaking volcanic scenery. It’s one of those places you simply have to visit before you die.
