Rwanda is known as the ‘land of a thousand hills’ as it is home to dramatic volcanoes, large lakes and beautiful green terraced hillsides. Although tracking mountain gorillas is the key reason to visit, it is a scenically striking country with much more to offer.

Home to over half of the world's last remaining mountain gorilla population, venturing into the montane forest of the beautiful Volcanoes National park is one of the greatest wildlife encounters possible in Africa.
The major attraction in the tropical Nyungwe Forest National Park are chimpanzees. The guided forest walks offer the opportunity to see as many as 275 bird and 75 mammal (including 13 primate) species living there.
Be driven through tea and banana plantations, passing waving villagers on the way to Lake Kivu. Stop at Kibuye and take a boat trip across the lake to Napolean Island with its colony of fruit bats. Spend a night in Gisenyi, watching the sunset on its lovely sandy beach.
A small, modern and friendly capital, Kigali does not have the organised tourist activities of some of its regional counterparts. However, expect authentic and lively local markets, as well as a moving, well-narrated account of the Rwandan Genocide at the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre.
