Bespoke Luxury Rwanda Safaris | Gorilla Trekking, Wilderness & More
The Bespoke Luxury Rwanda Safaris | Gorilla Trekking, Wildlife & More. Rwanda offers a truly unforgettable luxury safari experience. Plan a bespoke holiday with The Bespoke African Safari Co. and visit Rwanda’s most famous parks.
Rwanda’s sincere, proud people and gorgeous, mysterious wildlife are the country’s true jewels, while the country’s volcanic mountains, dense forests, calm lakes, and bustling towns provide a stunning backdrop.
Rwanda, although being landlocked, provides a safari experience unlike any other in Africa. “Land of a Thousand Hills” is a common nickname for the country. The country may be small, but it is packed with breathtaking scenery. The locals are warm and welcoming, and their culture is remarkable. Mountain gorillas and other endangered apes provide visitors with an unforgettable experience.
Safaris to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda are amazing. Many species of avifauna can be seen by birdwatchers in Nyungwe Forest National Park. Visitors interested in seeing exotic animals will find Akagera National Park to be a paradise. The gorgeous Big Five animal is free to wander the park.
There is a wide variety of things to do in the nation. Trekking a volcano or following in the footsteps of chimpanzees is an experience of a lifetime. Fewer people than that are allowed to visit the gorillas each day.
You can go kayaking, boating, or even chimpanzee slogging on Lake Kivu’s undulating environment. It has two distinct wet seasons and a mild tropical climate. Rwanda is a year-round destination. Camps and resorts of the highest quality are available as lodging options for guests.
Kigali, the capital city, and the surrounding national park are as vibrant as they are beautiful. For birdwatchers, it’s a must-see paradise. The peaceful and tidy destination has some of Africa’s best-looking cities. The critically endangered primate population is the main draw for visitors. The wildlife in Rwanda is incredible. The coffee’s subtle caramel flavor is well worth trying.

Luxury Rwanda Safaris
Almost all Rwanda safaris center on gorilla trekking in the famous Volcanoes National Park, but many also include stops in neighboring Uganda due to the two nations’ shared geography and ecosystems.
There is more to Rwanda than just tracking mountain gorillas; the primate-rich Nyungwe Forest National Park, for example, offers excellent chimpanzee and birding safaris that pair well with a walk through Volcanoes National Park in search of mountain gorillas. Big 5 game drives (all of the Big 5 are slowly being reintroduced to Akagera) are only one of the many activities that can be enjoyed at Lake Kivu and Akagera National Park.
Our selection of Luxury Rwanda safaris and tours also include; Combining a Rwanda gorilla trek with a trip to the Masai Mara, the Serengeti, or even the Spice Island of Zanzibar are just a few examples of the South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Kenya tour and safari options we offer.
Rwanda boasts breathtaking landscapes. Tropical rainforests and bamboo forests envelop hillsides adorned with verdant savannahs. From crystal lakes, dormant volcanoes rise. Lake Kivu, one of the Great Lakes of Africa, and three national parks—Akagera, Volcanoes, and Nyungwe—are located in the country.
Seeing the endangered mountain gorillas and silverbacks in their natural habitat is the main draw for many visitors to this central African nation. Being able to observe a dominating silverback or a playful infant during the walk is an incredible privilege; it is, without a question, one of the best wildlife experiences in the world. The golden monkeys of Volcanoes National Park can be just as fascinating to see up close with the assistance of knowledgeable naturalists.
With a wealth of first-hand knowledge of the best hotels and lodges in Rwanda and an unmatched respect for the country’s extraordinary wildlife, our team has been fortunate enough to venture into the gorillas’ mystical, verdant realm on multiple occasions.
Whether you’re planning a simple cultural immersion in Rwanda or a multi-country safari, our experts can tailor an itinerary to your every need. You may rely on top-notch local guides and trackers, as well as flawless planning and excellent drivers.

Tours in Rwanda primarily focus on primate trekking (mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, golden monkeys) in Volcanoes & Nyungwe National Parks, wildlife safaris in Akagera National Park (Big Five), cultural experiences in Kigali (markets, galleries), and adventures around Lake Kivu, often combined with neighboring Uganda for comprehensive East Africa safaris. Options range from budget-friendly trips to luxury stays, with many tours blending conservation efforts, community visits, and classic game drives.
Golden Monkey Tracking Rwanda
The golden monkey, easily identifiable by its distinctive tufts of orange fur, is one of the most fascinating and unusual animals to observe in Rwanda. They’re so rare that there are just about 4,000 of them left in the wild. We seek Volcanoes National Park on our Rwanda group tour for golden monkeys, even though Sabyinyo National Park is home to a huge troop of these animals.
Following the bamboo shoots that they drop on the forest floor after a meal is the simplest way to find them.
Rwanda Tourism
Rwanda tourism focuses on high-value, sustainable eco-tourism, centered on its “Land of a Thousand Hills” landscape, unique biodiversity, and friendly people, with mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park as the premier attraction, alongside chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe, wildlife safaris in Akagera, cultural sites like the Kigali Genocide Memorial, and exploring its clean, green capital, Kigali.

Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village
A wonderful site to begin a fascinating exploration of Rwandan culture and history is in Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village. Visit a model of the King’s house, see traditional Intore dances, listen to Agakenke drumming styles, and hear the “songs of the gorillas” after receiving a warm welcome in this village situated around Volcanoes National Park. There are also some opportunities for hands-on learning, such as sampling local banana beer or enrolling in a pottery workshop in Batwa.
