Helicopter Tours in Rwanda

The view of the evergreen undulating mountains and the Ariel backdrop of the mountains is breathtaking. A novel approach to exploring conservation areas in Rwanda is through helicopter tours. Flights to domestic locations have been introduced, and the tours will take you to locations such as the twin lakes in the volcanoes, Lake, and most of the country’s most popular conservation areas, including the national parks of the volcanoes, Nyungwe Forest, Gishwati Mukura, and Akagera.

Travelling to the Volcanoes National Park will allow you to experience the best that the park has to offer. It showcases the rich display of the mountains; the conservation area is home to the mountain gorillas, Gorilla beringei, and Golden Monkeys; these are herbivorous animals with intelligent personalities that live in the forested areas without human intervention. The park centre can be fully enjoyed thanks to the iconic helicopter ride.

It is incredibly beautiful as most of the park premises overlook the open expanse savannah dotted with shrubs and the many water bodies of the national park. It is the only place in Rwanda where one can see wild animals, including the big five of the wilderness (Lions, Leopards, African elephants, and African buffaloes). Nyungwe Forest National Park is home to thirteen primate species, most notably the chimpanzee. Akagera National Park is one of the few places to see wildlife in Rwanda and other country’s only savannah conservation areas.

The extraordinary tours are booked to specific locations. For instance, guests can enjoy a scenic two-hour trip to the Twin Lakes, a two-hour helicopter flight to Volcanoes National Park, where they can take in breathtaking views of the highest peak, and return to Kigali International Airport. Another option is a scheduled two-hour flight to Akagera National Park, which is Rwanda’s only savannah conservation area and home to a variety of animal species.

One of Rwanda’s best ecosystems can be experienced on the two-hour helicopter ride to the Nyungwe Forest National Park and Lake Kivu, which is home to one of the last remaining tracts of tropical rain forests.

It is best to travel throughout the year, but on certain days you might need to consider the drier season, which is much easier because of the turbulences caused by weather conditions that may prevent the activity from taking place. Most flights take off from Kigali International Airport and land back at the airport. The costs and packages entirely depend on the locations you select. With helicopter tours in Rwanda, you can visit each location alone or combine them to explore the remaining ecosystems on a single trip.
