Rwanda

Known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda is a stunning country located in East to Central Africa, and as they say, the best things come in small packages.  It has risen from its troubled history and has heavily invested in conservation and its people and is a must-visit destination in Africa.

The northern part of this small country is dominated by five volcanoes of the Virunga massif.  This is an area which is home to half the mountain gorillas in the world.  To the west, there are beautiful beaches and archipelago of islands of Lake Kivu.  In the south you have the ancient rainforest of Nyungwe which is not only home to over 300 bird species with around 30 being endemic to the Albertine Rift, but is also a great destination for chimpanzee trekking and hiking. And finally to the East, is the beautiful Akagera National Park – a huge success story in conservation with the park now being home to the Big Five as well as many other animal and bird species.

Immerse yourself in a wide range of activities, from going on safari to see the “Big Five”,  hiking and chimpanzee trekking in ancient rainforests in Nyungwe, gorilla trekking in the volcanic forests of Volcanoes National Park to exploring the city of Kigali with its vibrant arts scene.  Experience authentic visits to sustainable and eco-friendly crop to cup coffee and tea farms and see how the night-fishermen carry out their craft on the beautiful Lake Kivu.  Rwanda really has something amazing to offer for everyone.
