Rwanda’s lush green hills earned it the “Land of a Thousand Hills”—and within them lives the powerful story of mountain gorillas. Trek through misty Virunga forests to observe these gentle giants. Kigali brings poignant history and vibrant art. Rolling tea plantations, ancient rainforests, and a commitment to conservation make Rwanda a hopeful beacon in Africa.

Journeys: Wild Encounters in Rwanda

Embark on an unforgettable expedition to track mountain gorillas and golden monkeys, in the rainforest of Rwanda. Visit a research centre set up by Dr. Dian Fossey, who spent 18 years studying gorillas in the Virunga Mountains with support from National Geographic, and get up close to these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Set out in search of the “big five”—lions, leopards, elephants, and Cape buffalo—while on safari in Akagera National Park, while learning about the incredible conservation efforts that brought this onetime battleground back from disaster.
