Last year we visited Kenya in April and the Tanzania in August. With those awesome birding experiences still fresh in our memory we started exploring the possibility to do short trip (9 days) to Africa to continue the streak. We first looked at Uganda, which we had already visited in 2016, but 9 days would be too short to do a full clean up trip. Rwanda however turned out to be a perfect destination; there are 3 major National Parks to visit (Volcanoes NP, Nyungwe NP and Akagera NP), all within a 2-5 hour drive from the capital Kigali. This gives a nice combination of mountain forest birding with many of the Albertine Rift endemics, complemented with some nice savannah birding. In our 9-day trip we were able to visit all 3 sites and see the selection of birds that is only/best seen in Rwanda. In total we saw 259 birds.
