"Gorillas are almost altruistic in nature... the extraordinary gentleness of the adult male with his young... the family structure is unbelievably strong." - Diane Fossey

Rwanda, the land of a thousand hills, is famed for its landscapes and the rare opportunity to trek with mountain gorillas in their misty volcanic habitat. It offers an unparalleled blend of adventure, wildlife encounters, and serene beauty.

Rwanda’s highlights include Volcanoes National Park, home to the iconic mountain gorillas, Nyungwe Forest National Park with its chimpanzees and canopy walk, and Akagera National Park, where savannah meets wetlands for Big Five safaris.
