Rwanda national parks or National parks in Rwanda are mainly the tourist destinations in Rwanda where travellers go when they visit Rwanda on their Rwanda safaris and tours. Rwanda safari game parks include:- Volcanoes National Park, Akegera National Park, Nyungwe National Park and Gishwati Mukura National Park. These Rwanda Parks have threatened ecosystems and wildlife reserves found in Rwanda in the east central Africa which has attracted many safaris in Rwanda. This is because of the effect of the genocide where National Parks were used as hiding places. These National Parks include
Each Rwanda national park protects a distinct ecosystem and a variety of species. Bordering Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, into which the Virungas volcanic mountain chain extends, Volcanoes National Park is the most heavily patrolled park in the world and the oldest in Africa. In combination with adjoining parks in the neighbouring countries, it serves as the world’s only habitat of the mountain gorillas, whose numbers have been increasing here over the past decade. Visitor numbers to the gorillas are strictly limited and passes must be purchased, often well in advance, from RDB. Golden monkeys also inhabit a separate portion of the park.[2]
To the southeast along the Burundian border, Nyungwe National Park hosts a large number of chimpanzees and a variety of other primate species in a highland rainforest environment.[3]
The eastern border of Rwanda, along with Lake Victoria and Tanzania, is the location of Akagera National Park and protects a variety of African fauna in a savannah ecosystem, including giraffes, elephant, buffalo, baboons, gazelles and zebra.[4] Lions originally inhabited the park but were exterminated by poisoning during and after the Rwandan genocide. The park is currently being fenced in to allow the reintroduction of lions to be imported from South Africa in 2014.
Located to the south-west of Rwanda, the Nyungwe Forest National Park is close to the border of Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo in the south and the west respectively it’s a fascinating Rwanda Safaris destination. It is recorded to be among the ancient African forests that are noted to have survived the last ice age.
