Rwanda Safaris with Bushwagon
Explore the Land of a Thousand Hills in Style
Nestled in the heart of East Africa, Rwanda is a destination that stirs the imagination with its dramatic landscapes, rare wildlife, and vibrant culture. Known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” this compact country offers an extraordinary range of safari experiences—from tracking mountain gorillas in misty volcanoes to spotting lions on golden savannas. At Bushwagon Safaris, we bring our passion for adventure and authenticity to Rwanda, delivering immersive journeys with our signature bush wagons—mobile camps that blend rugged exploration with comfort. Ready to discover Rwanda’s wild beauty? Here’s what makes our safaris unforgettable.
Why Choose Rwanda for Your Safari?
Rwanda is a land of breathtaking diversity. In a single trip, you can trek through ancient rainforests, cruise along serene lakes, and explore sprawling plains teeming with wildlife. It’s one of the few places on Earth where you can lock eyes with a mountain gorilla, then unwind by the shimmering waters of Lake Kivu. Beyond its natural wonders, Rwanda’s rich cultural heritage and inspiring story of resilience add depth to every adventure. With Bushwagon Safaris, you’ll experience it all—up close, personal, and responsibly.

A Day on Safari with Bushwagon
Picture this: you wake in your bushwagon’s rooftop tent as dawn paints the hills gold. Over a campfire breakfast, your guide briefs you on the day—perhaps a gorilla trek or a game drive. You’ll spend your hours exploring, learning from our knowledgeable team, and soaking in Rwanda’s beauty. Evenings are for unwinding—savoring a meal under the stars, swapping tales, and listening to the wild’s nighttime chorus.
Traveling with Purpose
At Bushwagon Safaris, we’re committed to leaving Rwanda better than we found it. We collaborate with local conservation initiatives to protect gorilla and chimpanzee habitats, support anti-poaching efforts, and fund community projects like schools and clinics. By traveling with us, you’re helping preserve Rwanda’s wildlife and empower its people.
Best Time to Visit
Rwanda’s climate offers flexibility. The dry seasons (June to September and December to February) are prime for gorilla trekking and wildlife spotting, with clear trails and vibrant views. The wet seasons (March to May and October to November) bring lush greenery and quieter parks—perfect for those seeking solitude. We’ll tailor your trip to match your preferences.
