Home — Rwanda: Luxury Primate & Rhino Safari

The Very Best Of Rwanda

This journey through Rwanda highlights the country’s transformation into a premier destination for wildlife conservation and high-end hospitality. Over ten nights, guests will stay at three of the nation’s most refined lodges in regions that are central to both biodiversity and ecological recovery. From the savannahs of Akagera, where black and white rhinos roam again after decades of absence, to the volcanic slopes of the Virungas, home to mountain gorillas, and the montane forests of Nyungwe where chimpanzees thrive, each location reflects Rwanda’s commitment to ecological renewal.

Alongside wildlife encounters, the trip underscores Rwanda’s place at the forefront of conservation-led tourism. Carefully planned road transfers and guided treks provide access to habitats ranging from open wetlands to dense forest, while boat safaris and canopy walks reveal perspectives not possible from a vehicle alone. Each lodge has been chosen for its proximity to wildlife, the quality of guiding, and its role in supporting both conservation initiatives and sustainable tourism.
