Wildlife enthusiasts can trek a multitude of primates, ranging from the infamous Mountain Gorillas, to our even closer cousins the chimpanzees, as well as smaller but more acrobatic varieties like golden monkeys and black & white colobus monkeys. Akagera National Park in the east of the country offers traditional vehicle safaris while Nyungwe Forest in the south west has numerous hikes and East Africa’s only canopy walk. Active travelers can include more energetic activities including guided road and mountain bike trips, along with canoeing and kayaking.
