Rwanda Birding Safaris, Rwanda is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, offering an exceptional birding safari experience. Rwanda is home to over 700 different bird species, some of which are unique to the region. Birders can expect to see a variety of species including the Red-chested Sunbird, Bronzy sunbirds, White-collared Oliveback, Grey-headed Bushshrike, Bat Hawk, Narina Trogon, and many more.

Prime Birding Locations: Nyungwe National Park: This tropical montane rainforest in the west of Rwanda boasts over 300 bird species. It’s particularly famous for the Red-collared Babbler, the star bird attraction, along with other species like the Rwenzori Turaco, the Rwenzori Nightjar, and the Grauer’s Warbler.

Akagera National Park: Located in the northeast, Akagera is a savannah park with over 500 bird species. Its wetlands and lakes, along with the Akagera River, provide a habitat for birds such as the Red-faced Barbet, the white-collared Oliveback, and the Sousa’s Shrike. A typical birding safari in Rwanda might include visits to key locations like Kigali, Akagera National Park, Nyungwe National Park, and Lake Kivu. Birders can look forward to spotting species like the African fish eagle, Bateleur, African jacana, Squacco heron, and the Albertine owlet.

The optimal birding season in Rwanda is from October to March, coinciding with the rainy season when vegetation is lush and it’s the breeding season for birds. This period also welcomes migratory birds, adding to the diversity of species available for observation. Engaging in birding safaris in Rwanda also supports local conservation efforts and provides benefits to the communities involved in ecotourism. With its stunning landscapes and rich avian diversity, Rwanda offers a birding experience that is both rewarding and responsible, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while contributing to its preservation.
