This safari allows guests to see the Big Five in an open savannah of Akagera national park one day and then meet wild chimpanzees in one of Africa's oldest rainforests the next. Rwanda is one of the best places in Africa to go on safari because it has all of these amazing things to do in a very small area. In many safari countries, you will have to spend long days travelling between parks that are far apart. Instead, you will spend more important time exploring wildlife while staying at carefully chosen midrange to luxury hotels.

Your tour will start in Akagera National Park's sweeping eastern plains, which are home to lakes, acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and wetlands. These landscapes are always changing, making it easier to see wildlife. Watch elephants quietly grazing, lions resting under a scattering of trees, tall giraffes browsing the treetops, and groups of buffalo crossing the golden landscape as the sun rises over the savannah. There will be different parts of each game drive, which is what makes every adventure feel naturally unexpected.

Nyungwe National Park has one of Africa's oldest montane rainforests still standing. The trip will continue into the park's green mountains. With its playful chimpanzees, hundreds of bird species, and huge variety of orchids, butterflies, and old trees, Nyungwe has a very different feel to it than the savannah. It's lovely to walk under its thick forest while listening to birdsong and breathing in the fresh mountain air. This is something that not many safaris can offer in a single trip.

In addition to its wildlife, Rwanda is known for being clean, safe, and friendly. You will meet people from the region, learn about the country's rich history of growing tea, and see Kigali, which is one of the most modern and friendly cities in Africa. This 6-Day Rwanda itinerary for chimpanzee trekking & Akagera big five safari is an ideal choice for couples, families, honeymooners, solo travelers, and small groups because it makes a good mix between adventure, culture, and comfort. It's made for guests who want to have real experiences without giving up relaxation.

Niveau de difficulté

Les personnes en forme modérée devraient pouvoir participer à cette visite. En véhicule de safari, la plupart des activités sont des visites détendues et de l'observation de la faune. L'activité la plus exigeante physiquement est le trek de chimpanzés dans le parc national de Nyungwe. Pour la promenade en forêt, elle peut durer de deux à quatre heures, selon le déplacement des groupes de chimpanzés. Les sentiers ne sont pas toujours plats et il existe des obstacles naturels comme des racines d'arbres et des zones boueuses.

Les déplacements sur de longues distances se font à une vitesse lente et comprennent de belles pauses pour éviter que les participants ne se fatiguent trop. Les voitures de safari sont conçues pour permettre d'observer la faune pendant longtemps, afin que les invités profitent de la visite sans devoir fournir beaucoup d'efforts.

C'est agréable pour les personnes qui se déplacent aisément, et ceux qui souhaitent faire du trek de chimpanzés doivent pouvoir marcher sur un terrain forestier inégal à différents niveaux.
