Rwanda

Rwanda is a country of breathtaking beauty, resilience, and world-class conservation. Known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," its emerald landscapes range from the mist-covered peaks of the Virunga Mountains to the ancient, dense rainforests of the south. For many, a journey to Rwanda is a pilgrimage to see the Mountain Gorillas of Volcanoes National Park. Standing just meters away from a silverback in its natural habitat is more than a wildlife encounter—it is a profound, life-changing experience that stays with you forever.

But the Rwandan story extends far beyond the gorillas. In Nyungwe Forest National Park, one of Africa’s oldest rainforests, you can track energetic chimpanzees and walk among the clouds on the famous Canopy Walkway. To the east, the savannahs of Akagera National Park have staged a miraculous comeback, now offering intimate "Big Five" safaris where lions, rhinos, and elephants roam freely against a backdrop of stunning lakes and rolling plains.

At Authentic Africa Safaris, we take pride in showing you the heart of our home. Our expert local guides don't just lead the way; they share the stories of our culture, from the vibrant streets of Kigali to the traditional traditions of the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village.
