Trekking through Volcanoes National Forest to come face-to-face with mountain gorillas, observing the Big Five on a safari in Akagera National Park or hiking in the presence of chimpanzees at Nyungwe National Park are just three examples of the once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experiences Rwanda offers visitors. In addition to Rwanda’s spectacular wildlife, travelers will also discover a rich and hospitable culture, beautiful and varied scenery, a vibrant and impressive capital city, and so much more. By beginning a partnership with Virtuoso, Visit Rwanda will ensure advisors are the first to know about the national parks’ exciting new product offerings, pertinent COVID-19 updates, and the webinars, training opportunities and special promotions available for a limited time.
