Rwanda

The other premier African walking safaris destination is Rwanda, offering some of the best walking safaris in Rwanda. Famous Parc National des Volcans has given a chance to trek gorillas, and this is uniquely specific for meeting mountain gorillas in their natural habitats. Setting aside this once-in-a-lifetime experience, the country offers hiking excursions starting from towering Virunga Mountains, Mount Karisimbi and Mount Bisoke, down to the dense forests of Nyungwe National Park. For keen walkers, the 227km Congo-Nile Trail along Lake Kivu is a must-visit destination. Indeed, Rwanda offers almost anything that one could be looking for in an African walking safari.
