Wildlife
What You Might Encounter
Mountain Gorilla
Rwanda's Volcanoes NP protects over a dozen gorilla families. The trek — through mist, nettles and altitude — leads to encounters that redefine "wildlife experience".
Golden Monkey
Bamboo forest below the volcanoes shelters these vividly coloured monkeys, habituated for close-up encounters.
Golden Eagle
Raptors circle the volcano peaks — the Rwandan Virungas sit within a biodiversity hotspot for Afromontane birds.
Lion
Reintroduced to Akagera in 2015, the pride has grown steadily — Rwanda's only wild lions roam the acacia savannah.
Black Rhino
Reintroduced in 2017 alongside lions, Akagera's rhinos represent a landmark conservation story for Central Africa.
Elephant
A resident elephant population moves between Akagera's lakes and woodlands throughout the year.
Shoebill Stork
The vast papyrus swamps along Lake Ihema are among the best places in Africa to find this ancient-looking bird.
Chimpanzee
Nyungwe's chimpanzees have been habituated for trekking — encounters in this cathedral-like ancient forest feel very different from savannah chimps.
Angola Colobus Monkey
Troops of up to 400 individuals — among the world's largest colobus groups — swing through Nyungwe's canopy.
L'Hoest's Monkey
At least 13 primate species share Nyungwe, including this handsome, dark-coated forest monkey.
