Best Time To Go
All Year Round
Rwanda is remarkable all year round, however, in the dry seasons - from June to September and December to February - gorilla and chimpanzee trekking is at its best, and game viewing is also excellent.
Ideal Length
From 7-10 days
A week to ten days in this compact country provides plenty of time to enjoy the remarkable gems of Rwanda
