Rwanda, The Land of a Thousand Hills, is a small country that has made an enormous recovery from the horrors of the 1994 genocide. The stunning scenery of dense jungle, majestic mountains and volcanoes holds a wildlife experience of a lifetime: a chance to track the last remaining Mountain Gorillas in the mist covered hillsides of dormant volcanoes.
Rwanda is much more than gorilla tracking though. It is a wonderfully enriching destination. There are protected forests (rain, cloud and bamboo) with, amongst other primates, colonies of Colobus Monkeys, and the endangered Golden Monkey; the busy cities of Kigali and Butare with information and memorials to the recent history; Akagera National Park with its amazing birds, lions, hippos and giraffes and Lake Kivu with its beautiful inland beaches for relaxation.
Add to this a nation that has rebounded from the horror of war with a vibrancy and friendliness that is hard to find anywhere else, and you’ll find Rwanda a destination that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
