Rwanda

Rwanda is a truly remarkable African country that lies just south of the Equator, in the heart of Africa. It's a country that has successfully overcome a dark past and is now one of the leading tourist destinations in Africa. In the space of a week, it's possible to experience the best of what this little country has to offer: breathtaking landscapes with extraordinary wildlife.

Known as the 'Land of a Thousand Hills', Rwanda's stunning scenery is home to the endangered mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park. Trekking through the misty bamboo forests to encounter a gorilla family is one of the most profound wildlife experiences on Earth.

Beyond gorillas, Rwanda offers exceptional chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe Forest, Big Five safaris in Akagera National Park, and the vibrant capital city of Kigali, which is one of the cleanest and most progressive cities in Africa.
