Accommodations
Rwanda is one of the smallest countries in Africa but has some of the biggest attractions. The country is among the only three countries with mountain gorillas. Rwanda safaris are full of excitement when you meet gorillas in Volcanoes National Park and lots of sorrow when you visit the genocide memorial monuments. Gorilla watching is apparently the brightest star in the Rwanda tourism industry. Rwanda gorilla watching experiences are apparently the best. This is partly because Volcanoes National Park is close to Kigali City, a popular entry point for tourists. You only need two hours to access PNV by road. The gorilla experience in Rwanda is the most expensive so far. Permits go for $1500 each irrespective of your nationality and time of travel. This price tag alone automatically makes the country a luxury gorilla trekking destination. It doesn't favor tourists who want to go for budget gorilla trekking trips. Far east of the country lies Akagera National Park, a home to the big five game animals of Rwanda and down south lies Nyungwe Forest National Park, the largest montane forest in the East African region. Rwanda's tourism industry may not be diverse as such BUT remarkably offers unforgettable experiences. Want to go on Rwanda tours? See some of our Rwanda safari itineraries below.
