A Rwanda safari offers several attractions not found in Kenya or indeed in most other safari destinations other than Uganda. Foremost among these is the opportunity for gorilla trekking safaris in the Virunga mountains and chimpanzee trekking in the Nyungwe National Park.
Rwanda offers far greater diversity than Kenya when it comes to forest primates. Furthermore, although its checklist of 700 bird species theoretically compares poorly with the 1,000-plus recorded in Kenya, it’s far stronger on forest birds that are difficult to see elsewhere in eastern and southern Africa.
However, Kenya is well ahead of Rwanda when it comes to plains wildlife and Big Five safari experiences, and there is nothing in Rwanda to compare with the Indian Ocean beach resorts such as Diani and Watamu.
Kenya is also a more diverse country when it comes to traditional cultures, be it the pastoralist Maasai and Samburu or Arab-influenced Swahili people of the coast.
