Rwanda has seen a growing shift towards ecotourism in recent months, with the government and local businesses promoting sustainable practices to protect the country’s environment and wildlife. Rwanda is well known for its mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, and ecotourism initiatives have expanded to ensure that visits are conducted responsibly, with minimal impact on the delicate ecosystem.

The country’s national parks have introduced stricter guidelines on visitor numbers, sustainable lodging options have increased, and more focus is being placed on community-led tourism initiatives that directly benefit local populations.

As ecotourism becomes a priority in Rwanda, travelers can feel good about supporting sustainable travel. Tourists looking to experience gorilla trekking or visit Nyungwe Forest can enjoy these attractions while contributing to conservation efforts and supporting local communities.
