Discovering the Enchanting Volcanoes National Park

Nestled in the northern region of Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is an awe-inspiring destination that covers an expansive area of 160 square kilometers, blanketed in lush tropical rainforest. This enchanting sanctuary is renowned for its mesmerizing landscapes and is your gateway to the fascinating world of the mountain gorillas.

Venturing into Nyungwe Forest National Park

Situated in the southwestern part of Rwanda, Nyungwe Forest National Park is a vast expanse, spanning a sprawling 970 square kilometers. It extends southward to border Burundi’s Kabira Forest National Park. Nyungwe Forest captivates with its rich biodiversity and pristine natural beauty, promising an unforgettable journey through this magnificent wilderness in pursuit of our closest primate relatives, the chimpanzees.

Unveiling the Wonders of Primates and Apes

Primates represent a captivating biological order that encompasses various species, including monkeys, apes, and even humans. This diverse group of creatures shares a common ancestry, creating a profound connection between species like lemurs, monkeys, and us.

Apes, on the other hand, are a distinctive subset of primate species. These ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous forest-dwellers include the awe-inspiring gorillas, which are further divided into four species: mountain gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas, western lowland gorillas, and cross river gorillas. Moreover, chimps, classified into two subspecies as ordinary chimpanzees, and the fascinating baboons, complete this intriguing group.

The Ideal Time to Embark on Your Rwanda Primate & Ape Adventure

Rwanda primate and ape tracking safaris are available year-round, offering incredible wildlife encounters in every season. However, the best times to plan your expedition are generally during the dry seasons, from June to August and December to February.

It’s important to note that Rwanda’s rainy seasons typically occur from March to May and September to November. Despite this, it’s essential to understand that Rwandan rains are typically short-lived, with rain showers lasting just a few hours before the radiant sun re-emerges to warm the land. In this remarkable landscape, you’ll find adventure and wonder in every season.
