Rwanda

Because of its geographic center on the African continent, Rwanda is frequently referred to as the “heart of Africa.” Its rugged terrain has earned it the nickname “country of a thousand hills.” It is a stunning and fascinating nation with a vibrant past and present.

The interesting savannah, rolling hills, deep valleys, an abundance of wildlife, and the beauty of nature make Rwanda an exquisitely attractive place. Its capital city, Kigali is picturesque with many sights and delights.

The major tourist attraction in Rwanda is gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Since it borders Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this national park in Rwanda is home to a growing number of mountain gorillas. The walk takes place through mysterious bamboo forests, meadows, and marshy terrain. The assistance of national park professional guides will allow for the eventual encounter with one of the habituated gorilla groups.

In addition to mountain gorilla tracking, Rwanda is home to other outstanding wildlife attractions, such as the primate-rich Nyungwe Forest National Park, which provides wonderful chimpanzee and birding safaris that go well with a gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park. Moreover, Lake Kivu and Akagera National Park provide Big 5 game drives in addition to stunning scenery, first-rate hiking, and amazing canopy excursions (all of the Big 5 are slowly being reintroduced to Akagera).
