RWANDA SAFARI DESTINATIONS

Rwanda, known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” is one of Africa’s most captivating travel destinations, offering a blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and extraordinary wildlife encounters. This small yet stunning country is fast emerging as a top safari destination in East Africa, celebrated for its safety, cleanliness, and conservation success. When planning your trip with Cotis Safaris, exploring our curated Rwanda Safari Tours gives you seamless access to these world-class locations.

Rwanda’s top safari destinations span from the Virunga Mountains in the northwest, where Volcanoes National Park offers world-class mountain gorilla tracking through bamboo forests, an adventure showcased in our 3-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Safari, to the eastern savannahs of Akagera National Park, home to the Big Five and wetland boat safaris like our Full Day Akagera Safari & Optional Boat Ride from Kigali. In the southwest, Nyungwe Forest National Park preserves an ancient montane rainforest housing 13 primate species, habituated chimpanzee troops, and a high-altitude canopy walkway. Travelers can unwind on the scenic shores of Lake Kivu for kayaking and coffee tours after trekking, or explore Kigali City, the capital known for its cultural landmarks, the Kigali Genocide Memorial, and our guided Kigali City Tour.
