AFRICA TRAVEL TIPS TO RWANDA

Rwanda is a jewel of a land located just a few degrees south of the equator and bordering Tanzania and Uganda. It is known for its forests, hills, mountains and volcanoes, and is the place where Dian Fossey fought off poachers and politicians to save the African Mountain Gorilla.

Visitors can come to visit the gorillas in the Volcano National Park, but there is more to Rwanda than just the remarkable creatures. A short Africa travel tip & guide to Rwanda has been compiled to help make the most of your visit. Here we provide Africa travel tips to know before travel to Rwanda

The dry season, which runs from June to September, is often regarded as the ideal time to visit Rwanda. During this time of year, there is often light cloud cover, which creates a pleasant climate for gorilla trekking.

Visitors of certain nations (including the United States and the United Kingdom) can get visas on arrival in Rwanda for $30. All other travelers who require visas must obtain them from their home country prior to their trip.

Volcanoes National Park protects the Rwandan section of the Virunga Mountains and is contiguous with the Mgahinga National Park in Uganda. 

It is home to 300 mountain gorillas, mostly male silverback gorillas, who reside among the bamboo forests on the upper slopes.

**ACTIVITIES OFFERED AT VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK

Guests will start from the park headquarters and drive 30 minutes to the trailhead to access the Karisoke Research Camp. The trek takes an hour and a half to three hours, passing through farmland and passing through forest hogs, buffalo and monkeys. Once at the camp, visitors can see Dian Fossey’s grave and her hut. The descent back to the trailhead takes one to two hours.

B)Golden Monkey Tracking

Guests can trek from the Volcanoes National Park headquarters to see the rare golden monkeys, which are listed as endangered. There are two troops of monkeys that have been habituated to visits by tourists in the park.

This is a great way to spend an extra day in the park and is a rare and delightful experience not to be missed.

The Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is a popular destination for tourists to visit the golden monkeys, a rare species listed as endangered. Two troops of the monkeys are habituated to visits by tourists, both of which number around 80 members. The golden monkeys live in the bamboo vegetation towards the base of the volcanoes and have adapted to their daily visit. Tourists can trek to find the monkeys in a small group of more than eight people, and can spend one hour with them once they find them. They are very sprightly creatures and leap from tree to tree, which is entertaining if a little difficult to photograph.

It is recommended to set a camera to a fast shutter-speed to allow for low light in the dense undergrowth. This is a great way to spend an extra day in the volcanic National Park and for those interested in wildlife.

C)Gorilla Tracking
Mountain gorilla tracking is a great wildlife experience that involves a hike up to the Volcanoes National Park. The hike can take up to four hours and is not something to be taken lightly. It is forbidden to eat or smoke in the presence of the gorillas and to approach within five meters of them. Gorillas are susceptible to human diseases and if one ill tourist infects a gorilla, they will have no resistance.
