Overview
Rwanda
Rwanda is the Land of a Thousand Hills, a compact yet spectacular country known for intimate mountain gorilla encounters in the Virunga volcanoes, pristine rainforests, and one of Africa's most remarkable conservation stories.
“Since its remarkable recovery, Rwanda has positioned itself as East Africa's premium gorilla destination. Volcanoes National Park offers the closest gorilla encounters in Africa, while Nyungwe Forest hosts 13 primate species including chimpanzees. Kigali is Africa's cleanest capital and a model of sustainable urban development.”
