Rwanda is a unique and rich in natural scenic beauty. It’s a country of thousands hills that are still natural and covered with forest ideal for adventure and boosts the Country’s Primates as well as Rwanda’s tours and safaris.

The Volcanoes National Park has it all.  Located In the heart of Central Africa, so high up that you shiver more than you sweat,” wrote the eminent primatologist Dian Fossey, “are great, old volcanoes towering up almost 15,000 feet, and nearly covered with rich, green rainforest – the Virungas”. Situated in the far northwest of Rwanda, the Parc des Volcans protects the steep slopes of this magnificent mountain range – home of the rare mountain gorilla – and the rich mosaic of montane ecosystems, which embrace evergreen and bamboo forest, open grassland, swamp and heath. The park known for its Mountain Gorillas also has a lot to offer, golden monkey (Cercopithecus mitis kandti), black-fronted duiker (Cephalophus niger), buffalo (Syncerus caffer), Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) and bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) also boosts tours apart from Rwandan gorilla tour and safaris.

Nyungwe National Park in the west also offers all you may need for a life time experience, the largest block of montane forest in East or Central Africa, and one of the most ancient, dating back to before the last Ice Age offers a uniquely rich center of floral diversity, the forest has more than 200 different types of trees, and a myriad of flowering plants including the other-worldly giant lobelia and a host of colorful orchids.

To the East of Country, Akagera National Park well known for game safaris also has a lot to offer. Akagera is, above all, big game country! Herds of elephant and buffalo emerge from the woodland to drink at the lakes, while lucky visitors might stumble across a leopard, a spotted hyena or even a stray lion. Giraffe and zebra haunt the savannah, and more than a dozen types of antelope inhabit the park. This country is rich in culture, fresh and still holds hidden treasures undiscovered by many the world over
