Known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” Rwanda is one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring destinations — and not just for its landscapes. With misty mountains, lush rainforests, rich wildlife, and heartwarming culture, Rwanda safaris offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At Ranger Buck Safaris, we craft luxury, tailor-made Rwanda safari tour packages that bring you face-to-face with Africa’s rarest and most breathtaking sights.
Why Choose Rwanda for Your Next Safari?
While most travelers head to East Africa for the Serengeti or Masai Mara, Rwanda remains one of Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. Its small size is deceptive — this country is packed with incredible biodiversity, stunning national parks, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
1. Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park
No Rwanda safari is complete without a gorilla trekking experience in the Volcanoes National Park. Home to several habituated groups of critically endangered mountain gorillas, this is one of the only places on Earth where you can come face-to-face with these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
Your guided trek through the rainforest leads to an unforgettable hour in the presence of a gorilla family — a humbling, powerful, and deeply moving experience.
🦍 Gorilla permits are limited and in high demand, so early booking is essential.
2. Wildlife Safaris in Akagera National Park
For a more traditional safari experience, Akagera National Park offers Big Five game viewing in a scenic savanna setting. Once nearly lost to poaching, Akagera has made a dramatic comeback and now boasts lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalos, giraffes, and more.
Game drives, boat safaris, and luxury lodges make Akagera an incredible complement to your gorilla trek.
3. Chimpanzees and Rainforests in Nyungwe National Park
Looking for more primate encounters? Nyungwe Forest National Park is home to chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, and over 300 bird species. Hike through ancient montane forest, cross Africa’s highest canopy walkway, and connect with nature in one of Africa’s oldest ecosystems.
