Experience a unique side of Kigali’s conservation success at Umusambi Village, a stunning restored wetland sanctuary. This 1-day eco-tour is perfect for families, birdwatching enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a tranquil day in nature as an add-on to their Rwanda safari.
You will visit a 21-hectare nature reserve that provides a permanent, enriching home for over 50 endangered Grey Crowned Cranes rescued from the illegal pet trade.
This is a chance to see and learn about these majestic birds in a beautiful, natural environment.
