Know About Rwanda, and then Have Your Safari

Before you have your Rwanda Safari, it would be more advisable to know something small about the country you are travelling to. Rwanda is located in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, bordered by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Tanzania, and Burundi. Rwanda is known for its being a landlocked country with a size of 26,338 square kilometres, and it has a population of over 11 million. Rwanda consists of Batwa and pygmies who are hunter-gatherers and have lived in Rwanda and other countries surrounding the Great Lakes Region since AD 1000. As far as Rwanda’s history is concerned, these Batwa people used to stay in forested regions which were replaced by the National parks of Mgahinga, Bwindi, and Echuya. While in the forest, they hunted for different animals and collected food, they also practised pottery production simply because it is a valuable cultural and economic asset for Batwa, though largely out of necessity in the wake of environmental destruction challenging their traditional lifeways. Today, most Batwa People make their living as tenant farmers. While they did all this, their wives would also participate in certain activities like fruit and vegetable harvesting. Nowadays, most Batwa people make their living as tenant farmers.

The monkeys (Golden Monkeys) are the main focus of safari tours. Safaris in Rwanda offer something for everyone–those wishing to see exotic birds, native wildlife, and different cultures in their element. On a safari, travellers also get a hands-on history lesson on the country. The country is landlocked but offers beautiful, sweeping terrain. One of Rwanda’s main geographical attractions is its volcano Mountain Ranges stretching from DR Congo part of the great Virunga Mountains. There are five volcanoes that groups can get to from the Rwanda side of the Parc National des Volcans. In the forests and savannahs, safari-goes can see elephants, crocodiles and hippos. Most Rwanda safaris take place over several days, with some lasting multiple weeks. They can be specifically tailored to your interests, or follow a pre-set itinerary.
