Our 6 Days Helicopter Wildlife Safari Adventure in Rwanda will take you to Nyungwe Forest National Park and Akagera National Park, where you will enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the nation and fantastic wildlife encounters. The “big five” of the wilderness can only be seen there. The park, which is the only Savannah conservation area in the nation, has been an exceptional location ever since lions were brought back into it. Chimpanzees and other primates can be seen in Nyungwe, which is also well-known for the Canopy Walk Experience.
