Rwanda

Endless emerald-green hills and soaring mountainsides, Rwanda is the phoenix that has risen from the ashes after great suffering. It is now this peaceful little country that has so much to offer. Also known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda’s stunning scenery and warm, friendly people offer unique experiences in one of the most remarkable countries in the world. Rwanda is famous for being home to almost a half of the world’s mountain gorillas, these amazing animals are greatly endangered and a visit with them will leave an impression on any traveler fortunate enough to snag one of the highly demanded tracking permits dispensed by the Rwanda government each day. The dramatic rainforested mountains also count volcanoes, several primate species and incredible birdlife among their inhabitants, and all this is easily accessed from the capital, Kigali. In addition to its natural beauty, Rwanda is a country with a rich culture and history that goes beyond the tragic 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. This tiny but yet ambitious country offers a unique experience with its vibrant cities, villages, and fascinating landmarks.
