Rwanda in February

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Rwanda in February

February is still a great time to visit Rwanda. Although forest trails are more challenging in a wet season like February, animals can be seen all year round.

At this time of year, rains generally occur in the afternoons and activities are held in the morning. Since the rainy season is underway, this is an opportune time for a photographic safari to capture fantastic wildlife images.

Volcanoes National Park is a great park to visit this month. Its majestic freestanding mountains and range of dormant and active volcanoes are worth a visit. There is only gorilla wildlife here, so if you plan to go on a gorilla trek, this is the place to be.

Weather in February

Rainfall generally occurs in the afternoons, which means activities are normally reserved for the morning. Temperatures are still quite high so even though rains are present, it isn’t all that cold.

Highlight Park to Visit in Rwanda

Volcanoes National Park

February is a good month to visit Volcanoes National Park. Very little wildlife occurs here, though, and the park is better known for tracking mountain gorillas.

Since February is the wet season, activities generally occur in the morning, as afternoons normally see rain showers.

Activities to do in February

  • Gorilla trekking
  • Spa treatments
  • Yoga classes
  • Birding
