Rwanda has one of the highest concentrations of primates, with about 13 species recorded. These are found in Nyungwe National Park and include chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, mangabeys, baboons, vervets, red tailed monkeys, blue monkeys and over 350 bird species. If this weren’t enough to lure you to the area, then activities such as primate tracking, birding, forest and canopy walks, and wilderness adventures are just a handful of the other popular tourist activities on offer.
In the eastern part of Rwanda lies Akagera National Park, which is located about a three-hour drive from the capital city, Kigali. Akagera is famous for big game viewing, birding, and boat cruises on Lake Ihema. The Akagera National Park management team, African Parks, has recently successfully introduced lions to the area, and two females have since had cubs.
