Rwanda is a beautiful East African destination known for its green hills, mountain gorillas, wildlife, and welcoming communities. Often called the Land of a Thousand Hills, Rwanda offers a wonderful mix of primate trekking, wildlife safaris, nature, culture, and scenic landscapes.
One of Rwanda’s top attractions is Volcanoes National Park, home to endangered mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Gorilla trekking takes you into the Virunga Mountains for a close encounter with a habituated gorilla family. The park also offers golden monkey trekking and hiking opportunities.
For classic wildlife experiences, Akagera National Park is home to elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many bird species. Boat trips on Lake Ihema provide another way to explore the park.
In the southwest, Nyungwe National Park protects one of Africa’s oldest rainforests and is famous for chimpanzee trekking, forest walks, and the spectacular canopy walkway.
Visitors can also explore Kigali, a clean and vibrant capital city with excellent restaurants, markets, museums, and cultural attractions.
