Rwanda also has other primates such as golden monkeys, as well as a variety of other wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, and various species of antelope. Akagera National Park is another popular destination that many tourists want to visit. Tourists can observe a diverse selection of animals while being led by a guide. 

Both Uganda and Rwanda have made significant investments in conservation efforts, which have helped to protect their wildlife and natural habitats. These efforts have also created opportunities for sustainable tourism, which allows visitors to experience these amazing creatures in their natural habitat while supporting local communities.

White water rafting, hiking, and bird watching are among the many outdoor activities that visitors can relish in while exploring Uganda and Rwanda.
