Primates Safaris in Rwanda
Rwanda is a great destination for those interested in primate safaris. Particularly for the chance to see mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in their natural habitat. Here are some things that Paradise Adventure Vacations can offer for primate safaris in Rwanda:
Gorilla trekking:
Gorilla trekking is the most popular primate safari activity in Rwanda, and permits are required for one to participate. Permits must be obtained in advance. And can be purchased through the Rwanda Development Board with the help of our professional staff at Paradise Adventure Vacations. Only a limited number of permits are available each day. So it is important to book well in advance. The trek can take several hours and can be challenging. It is recommended to have a good level of fitness and time.
Golden monkey tracking:
In addition to gorillas, Rwanda is also home to golden monkeys. Which can
be tracked in the Volcanoes National Park. Like gorilla trekking, permits are required. And it is recommended to book in advance.
Best time to go:
The dry season, from June to August and from December to February, is generally considered the best time to go on a primate safari in Rwanda. During this time, the weather is pleasant, and the gorillas and monkeys are easier to spot as they tend to stay close to the trails.
Accommodation:
There are several accommodation options in and around the Volcanoes National Park, ranging from luxury lodges to budget guesthouses. It is recommended to book accommodation with Paradise Adventure Vacations particularly during peak season to avoid missing out on great
accommodation.
Other activities:
In addition to primate safaris, there are several other activities to enjoy in Rwanda, such as visiting the Genocide Memorial in Kigali, hiking in the Nyungwe Forest National Park, and visiting Lake Kivu among other activities.
Furthermore, a primate safari in Rwanda is an unforgettable experience, offering the chance to see some of the world’s most endangered and fascinating animals in their natural habitats.
