Known as the best place to see mountain gorillas in their natural environment, Rwanda regularly features on ‘must-visit’ wildlife destination lists. While the treks can take a few hours, the thrill of spending time among these amazing animals can be nothing short of life-changing!. Away from the gorillas, Rwanda’s tropical rainforests and plains offer a wide variety of wildlife from chimpanzees and various monkeys, and as the country is so small, it is easy to travel from one ecosystem to the other.
