Safaris in Rwanda revolve around one thing: gorillas. The legendary Volcanoes National Park, home to six active and three extinct volcanoes, also houses half of the world’s remaining wild mountain gorillas. And if the scenery looks familiar, it’s because these spectacular panoramas were the background of the famous film, Gorillas in the Mist. Rwanda safaris also visit Nyungwe Forest National Park, home to hundreds of bird species and chimpanzees, and often straddle the border into Uganda’s gorilla country.
