Rwanda is a small country in East Africa that has beautiful landscapes and a thriving population of endangered mountain gorillas. Encounter Africa Safaris offers a unique opportunity to experience the country's natural beauty and rich biodiversity. While exploring Rwanda's vast national parks, you will see the remarkable efforts made towards conservation and sustainable tourism.

The crown jewel of Rwanda's wildlife experiences is undoubtedly the encounter with the majestic mountain gorillas. Found in the Volcanoes National Park, these gentle giants captivate visitors with their sheer size, human-like expressions, and intricate social structures. Prepare to trek through dense bamboo forests, guided by experienced trackers who will lead you to the families of habituated gorillas. As you face these incredible primates, you'll be struck by a profound sense of connection and admiration for these endangered creatures.

Beyond the gorillas, Rwanda offers many other experiences, including a rich cultural heritage. Visit local villages to witness traditional dances, participate in drumming sessions, and learn about age-old customs. Explore the vibrant capital city of Kigali, where modernity blends seamlessly with historical landmarks, such as the poignant Genocide Memorial Center.
