Birdwatching

• NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK

Rwanda is a fantastic birding destination with more than 703 bird’s species, and birding can be done the whole year. The compact nature of the country means that several birding sites can be visited in a relatively short trip, giving access to some of the most desirable species in Africa. Most birders will want to focus their attention on Nyungwe National Park in the west of Rwanda and Akagera National Park located in the east. However, good birding can be found across the country and even close to Kigali, so no matter how long you are staying there is rewarding birding on offer.
