The Uganda|Rwanda safaris are one East Africa’s most done combined safari packages. Taking the fact that these two destinations favors travelers who basically want to do primate tracking related tours.
Even though Uganda and Rwanda are most known for its diversity when it comes to primates, they actually also offer some of the best bits for a wildlife safari.
RWANDA IN PARTICULAR
Rwanda is most referred to as the “Land of a thousand hills” because of its unique terraced hills landscapes all over the region. The scenery itself gives tourists who visit this beautiful small country something not to forget while in East Africa. The highlight for almost everyone visiting Rwanda, is to trek deep into the thick bamboo forests to seethe world’s remaining population of Mountain Gorillas in the famous Volcanoes National Park located just along the Virunga mountain ranges.
Unlike Uganda where one can track gorillas in two different destinations, that is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga gorilla National parks, in Rwanda it’s a different case where by all tourists interested in gorilla trekking must by any means slope down into the Volcanoes National Park.
What else to see in Rwanda besides gorilla tracking?
As said earlier that gorilla tracking is the highlight in Rwanda, there are actually a lot of other unique activities to do or see when in to this beautiful country and some of them are as follows.
Lake Kivu– For tourists who would want to change the scene of their eyes, there’s none other than a visit to Lake Kivu. The shores of this awesome and great to see lake, conceal some of the best beaches known on the African continent.
Nyungwe Forest National Park– Known to be among the oldest rain-forests that call the African continent home, this thick montane tracked rain forest is one of Rwanda’s most famous tourist attractions. Together with Uganda’s Kibale National Park, Nyungwe forest National Park is also home to 13 primate species and to visit Rwanda without a step into this home of primates is indeed a regret for many travelers.
Akagera National Park– Located just in the middle of the Akagera River, this miracle renowned park is the only destination where one can do a wildlife viewing safari in Rwanda. Once considered one of Africa’s most sought after wildlife reserves because it used to protect almost 10% of Rwanda. Truthfully most client’s who visit Akagera expecting huge concentration of wildlife like those in Kenya or Tanzania got disappointed, but in case you want to feed your eyes and immerse yourself with a quite and a unique environmental setting, then a visit to Akagera National Park is something recommended.
Kigali City– Who visit Rwanda and doesn’t take on a Kigali city tour?, with a span of several ridges and enchanting valleys, rolling hillsides, green sceneries, flowering trees, plus thrills of winding boulevards, Kigali is without doubt one of Africa’s most attractive capital cities. For many it’s said to be the most cleanest and safe in the whole of the region.
