Rwanda National Park- Self Drive Safaris

Rwanda’s national parks all offer something different in terms of wildlife or ecosystem. The volcanoes national park for examples has mountain gorillas while Akagera is the only park where all the big five mammals can be sighted.

Nyungwe forest has the oldest and most pristine montane forest in Africa and is arguably the best for chimpanzee trekking in Rwanda. What does Gishwati-Mukura offer?

Apart from having its own chimpanzee population, Gishwati is being positioned to become the best eco-tourism site and the best birding destination in Rwanda.

AKAGERA NATIONAL PARK

Akagera National Park is Central Africa’s largest protected wetland and the last remaining refuge for Savannah-adapted species in Rwanda. Through the partnership with African Parks, Akagera has been transformed from an ecosystem in decline to a haven for wildlife today.
