The Wild Heart of East Africa
National Parks of Uganda and Rwanda
Uganda and Rwanda protect some of Africa’s most varied wilderness in a compact area.
In Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga are home to mountain gorillas, Kibale is the primate capital of the world, and Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley and Lake Mburo offer classic savannah game drives.
In Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is famous for gorillas and golden monkeys, Nyungwe for chimpanzees and its canopy walk, and Akagera for the Big Five. Explore each park below to plan your route.
