National Parks in Rwanda

National Parks & Nature

Rwanda’s natural landscape is defined by the Albertine Rift and a dramatic collection of volcanic peaks. This list features the high-altitude rainforest of Nyungwe, home to chimpanzees and a canopy walkway, and the savannah of Akagera National Park, where the Big Five reside. The Virunga Mountains dominate the northern skyline with five major dormant and active volcanoes, including Mount Karisimbi, the highest point in the country. Additional sites include the Rusumo Falls on the Tanzanian border and the secluded waterfalls of the western highlands.
