Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about your safari to Rwanda? Here’s what travelers often ask

1. When is the best time to go on safari in Rwanda?
The best time is during the dry seasons (mid-December to early February and June to September). Trails are clearer, wildlife gathers around water sources, and your chances of seeing elephants at sunset or gorillas in the mist are even higher.
2. Do I need a visa to travel for safari in Rwanda?
Yes, most visitors need a visa. Rwanda offers visa on arrival for many countries and the East Africa Tourist Visa if you’re also visiting Uganda or Kenya.
3. How much should I budget for a safari?
Costs depend on your activities. A gorilla trekking permit is $1,500, while cultural tours and day trips to Akagera are more affordable. Multi-day packages balance experiences and value.
4. Can I combine gorilla trekking with a savannah safari?
Absolutely. Many travelers pair Volcanoes National Park (for gorillas) with Akagera National Park (for the Big Five). Tour operators often design packages that include both.
5. Is it safe to go on safari in Rwanda?
Yes. Rwanda is one of the safest destinations in Africa. Parks are professionally managed, guides are well trained, and visitors consistently feel secure.
6. What animals will I see?
Expect gorillas, golden monkeys, lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, hippos, antelopes, and hundreds of bird species.
7. How long should my trip be?
Most travelers stay 5–10 days to combine gorilla trekking, Akagera game drives, and cultural visits. Shorter trips of 1–3 days are also possible.
8. Should I book in advance?
Yes, especially for gorilla permits, which are limited and sell out quickly. Booking early ensures availability and better planning.
