Rwanda Safaris: Rwanda safaris are famous for mountain gorilla safaris and primate tours
Set at a relatively low altitude on the border with Tanzania, Akagera National Park could scarcely be more different in mood to the breezy cultivated hills that characterise much of Rwanda. Dominated scenically by the labyrinth of swamps and lakes that follow the meandering course of the Akagera River, the most remote source of the Nile, this is archetypal African savannah landscape of tangled acacia woodland interspersed with open grassland.
A tour to Rwanda allows you see Parc National des Volcans famous for gorilla tracking (gorilla permit cost US$1500 per gorilla permit), seeing local communities, will explore Nyungwe forest National park, in South West of Rwanda, a huge afro-montane forest. With over 10000sq.km in size, Nyungwe is the undisputed giant in Central Africa. The natural forest is renowned for its large troops of colobus monkeys, chimpanzees, butterflies and a rich variety of orchids. A safari to Rwanda will let you view over 300 bird species have been recorded. Also will visit some cultural sites en route – the Museum in Butare and the palace at Nyanza. Again visiting Akagera National Park for game viewing.
Visit Kigali city an attractive city spread over many hills for which Rwanda is prominent. Enjoy local dances and see local cultures at times at your hotel of stay. The City has a pleasant, beautiful and handsome tall and elegant people very friendly. Pick Local crafts for souvenir.
Akagera is, above all, big game country! Herds of elephant and buffalo emerge from the woodland to drink at the lakes, while lucky visitors might stumble across a leopard, a spotted hyena or even a stray lion. Giraffe and zebra haunt the savannah, and more than a dozen types of antelope inhabit the park, most commonly the handsome chestnut-coated impala, but also the diminutive oribi and secretive bushbuck, as well as the ungainly tsessebe and the world’s largest antelope, the statuesque Cape eland.
Camping alongside the picturesque lakes of Akagera is a truly mystical introduction to the wonders of the African bush. The Pods of 50 hippopotami grunt and splutter throughout the day, while outsized crocodiles soak up the sun with their vast jaws menacingly agape. Magically, the air is torn apart by the unforgettable high duetting of a pair of fish eagles, asserting their status as the avian monarchs of Africa’s waterways. Lining the lakes are some of the continent’s densest concentrations of water birds, while the connecting marshes are the haunt of the endangered and exquisite papyrus gonolek, and the bizarre shoebill stork – the latter perhaps the most eagerly sought of all African birds.
Travel Hemispheres welcomes you to Rwanda !
Rwanda is small country on the highest African Plateau about the size of Wales. It is land locked country in the heart of the continent. It is generally known as a land a thousand hills where few volcanoes stretch in the horizon..The undulating hills and mountains ever covered by mist every morning form a good scenery – hence “the gorillas in the mist”. Rwanda is bisected by the Rift valley forming enclaves and good natural forest habitats for over 600 bird species and the famous mountain gorilla National parks that houses the last surviving gorillas on earth. Akagera National park is set in the east, Nyungwe Forest in the southern part while the Volcanoes National park is in the northern part of the country bordering Uganda and Congo.
