While gorillas are Rwanda’s most famous attraction, the country offers much more for nature and wildlife lovers. Akagera National Park is home to the Big Five, where safaris bring lions, elephants, and giraffes into view. Nyungwe Forest, one of Africa’s oldest rainforests, offers chimpanzee trekking, birding, and canopy walks.
Lake Kivu adds a refreshing twist with its scenic shores, fishing villages, and water activities. Each park and region tells a unique story, highlighting Rwanda’s commitment to conservation and community-based tourism.
Travelers who explore beyond gorillas discover Rwanda’s incredible diversity—savanna, rainforest, lakes, and mountains all within a short drive.
