Rwanda
One of Africa's smallest nations presents amazing wildlifewatching
opportunities, from life-changing encounters with
mountain gorillas to photographing " the big five. "
Arriving in Rwanda for the first time, this African nation doesn't look the storied
part of chaotic jungles filled with screeching chimpanzees or thick forests roamed
by endangered gorillas. Beyond the tidy, terraced landscape dotted with coffee farms
and tea plantations, you'll find dense, lush vegetation climbing the sides of extinct
volcanoes, while savannas and marshes provide stunning panoramic views.
Guided safaris and treks, arranged by AAA preferred providers African Travel
Inc. and Alexander+Roberts, explore these wild lands. Many itineraries originate in
Kigali, where citizens offer smiles and welcoming words. Kigali ranks as the safest
capital city in Africa.
After paying respects at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, the city and its once
troubled past are left behind, and the country's animals become the focus. Three
national parks form the backbone of Rwanda's wildlife adventures.
At Volcanoes National Park, rangers lead small groups into the bamboo forests to
observe mountain gorilla families. " Seeing them takes your breath away, " shares Scott
Avera, president of Alexander+Roberts, who completed his first gorilla trek in October
2021. " The silverbacks are so big, but so calm. "
Additional primate encounters are found in Nyungwe National Park, where the
rainforest echoes with squeaks, hoots and calls. Monkeys swing among the branches
and vines, and chimpanzees move daily, building fresh nests in the trees each night.
The park's Canopy Walk, a 500-plus foot suspension bridge hovering above a ravine
230 feet below, offers an incredible view of the rainforest treetops.
For a traditional African safari, Akagera National Park is home to lions, giraffes,
elephants, Cape buffalo, rhinoceroses and many others. Game drives take place in the
early morning when the temperatures are cooler and animals are out grazing/hunting,
and give travelers an opportunity for a boat safari on Lake Ihema, where hippos and
Nile crocodiles can be seen.
Rwanda, " the land of a thousand hills, " is undeniably captivating, but it's the
treasures within those hills that people find fascinating. AAA Members can take
advantage of exclusive benefits and amenities when booking Africa vacation
