This little-visited country is an excellent birding
destination, with wetlands, highland forest and savannas crammed into
its narrow borders. The best birding sites are Nyungwe Forest and
Akagera National Park. Nyungwe is the only accessible site where the
unusual Red-collared Mountain Babbler can be seen, and offers easy
access to an impressive number of Albertine Rift endemics. Akagera,
near the Tanzanian border, is a good locality for the localised Red-faced
Barbet, and holds a rich diversity of savanna species. Add to these
two sites the famous Volcanoes National Park, where Mountain Gorilla
can be seen, and you have an excellent travel destination.
We offer only private tours to Rwanda, with an 8-day recommended itinerary
ideal for a short birding trip.
