Primate Safaris on Rwanda Tours

Primates are the backbone of Rwanda Tours with most trips leading to Volcanoes National Park in the north-west for mountain gorilla trekking and Golden monkey tracking, Nyungwe and Gishwati-Mukura National Parks for chimpanzee treks. Our primate tours start from one day and sometimes combine other activities such as guided nature walks/hiking.

Wildlife Tours

As silverback gorilla tours, our wildlife tours are conducted on-board open roof safari vehicles with expert guides. These involve exploring the spectacular Akagera National Park, set on the Eastern side, bordering Tanzania. These tours range from one day and involve a number of adventures that include game drives, walking safaris, boat cruises, and helicopter tours with the hope of encountering different wildlife species. Some of the commonly-encountered animals are impalas, African bush elephants, Cape elands, duikers, Cape buffaloes, Topis, lions, spotted hyenas, Grant’s zebras, leopards, Masai giraffes, Defassa waterbucks, Klipspringers, impalas, Roan antelopes, Olive baboons, giant forest hogs, black and white colobus monkeys and many others.

Birding Tours

Bird watching is also unmissable during Rwanda Tours with over 700 species to look out for and is conducted at different areas/spots that include Volcanoes, Nyungwe, Akagera, and Gishwati-Mukura National Parks, wetlands, and marshes (such as Rugezi marsh, Nyabarongo wetlands, and Akanyaru marsh), within Kigali City (especially around Nyarutarama or Lover’s Lake as well as Hotels’ lush gardens) and Lake Kivu among others. Birding Tours can be undertaken independently or combined with other tours.

Cultural Tours

Rwanda is undeniably a melting pot and cultural tours involve everything from the countryside to urban centers. We offer visitors the opportunity to take a step back in time and appreciate the country’s journey. These Tours also involve visiting the Genocide memorial sites across the country, cultural villages (such as Gorilla Guardian village and Bugesera Reconciliation Village), Museums (such as King’s Palace Museum, Ethnographic Museum in Butare, and Rwesero National Arts Museum Nyanza among others). Rwanda Cultural Tours can also be undertaken independently or combined with other trips such as gorilla treks, chimpanzee treks, wildlife tours, and City excursions.

Mountain climbing Tours

Mountain climbing tours in Rwanda are mainly focused on the Virunga Mountains-Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo although the first two are the most hiked during Rwanda Tours. Mount Karisimbi at 4507 meters is so far the highest and is summited in two days while Mount Bisoke at 3696 meters is usually climbed in one day. These trips are mainly done in Volcanoes National Park and Silverback gorilla tour organizes independent mountain climbing tours or as combined adventures with a gorilla or golden monkey treks.

City breaks

City breaks can be undertaken within the Urban Centers across the country but the Kigali City tour is the most popular with visits to Art and Craft Centers, Museums, and Genocide Memorial Centers. These tours are usually conducted pre or post safaris.

Best time of the year for undertaking Rwanda Tours

The best time of the year for undertaking Rwanda Tours is during the months of January, February, June, July, August, September, and December. These months present the most favorable weather conditions for enjoying the country’s activities. On-foot adventures such as gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, mountain climbing, and walking safaris are less challenging when trails are drier. Best wildlife viewing experiences are achieved during the dry season when most watering points have dried thus animals converge around the few remaining ones.

Packing list for most successful Rwanda Tours

Short and long-sleeved shirts, pair/s of shorts, long pants, rain jacket, warm sweater, re-usable water bottle, pair of binoculars, good camera, waterproof daypack, toiletries, sunglasses, first aid kit, wide brim hat, insect repellant, rain jacket, hiking boots, sandals, pajamas, swimsuit, energy-giving snacks, and gardening gloves are some of the fundamentals for an enjoyable Rwanda Tour.
