Rwanda Primate Safaris offer extraordinary encounters with some of Africa’s most fascinating primates, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Rwanda’s lush forests and volcanic mountains. Known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” Rwanda is one of the top destinations in Africa for primate tracking experiences. The highlight of many primate safaris is mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, where visitors hike through bamboo forests to observe endangered gorillas in their natural habitat. The park also offers golden monkey trekking, adding variety to the primate experience. In Nyungwe Forest National Park, travelers can enjoy chimpanzee tracking and spot several other primate species, including colobus monkeys and L’Hoest’s monkeys. Nyungwe is one of Africa’s most important primate conservation areas.

For a well-rounded safari, primate adventures can be combined with wildlife game drives in Akagera National Park or relaxation along the scenic shores of Lake Kivu.
