Rwanda has many national parks, each with natural beauty, wildlife, green cover, water sources, and unique landscapes. Each park has its own pricing based on the tourism season.
There are three seasons you need to know when planning your safari: the low season, which has fewer visitors because of the rainy weather, making prices lower and more affordable; the shoulder season, which also offers good rates; and the peak season, which can be more expensive.
However, nothing can stop a determined traveler from exploring, even with higher prices.
Your tour operator will help you choose the best option during your safari, whether budget, mid-range, or luxury. Some of the national parks include Akagera National Park, where you can enjoy the vegetation, colorful birds, animals, and primates, making your visit comfortable.
