Rwanda is not the country most travellers picture when they think of Africa. There is no sprawling savannah, no coastline, and no megacity. What Rwanda has instead is something harder to manufacture: a landscape of extraordinary green hills rolling endlessly in every direction, a capital city that is genuinely clean and safe, and a national story of transformation that is — in the most literal sense — one of the most remarkable in modern history. It is also home to one of the rarest wildlife encounters on earth.
Whether you are an adrenaline junkie, a nature lover, a cultural enthusiast, or someone seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience, Rwanda has something for everyone. With a growing tourism industry, improved infrastructure, and a commitment to sustainability, Rwanda is becoming one of Africa’s top travel hotspots.
Highlights include: UNESCO Genocide Memorial sites (Nyamata, Murambi, Gisozi and Bisesero), Mountain Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Chimpanzee Tracking in Nyungwe Forest, Akagera National Park safari, Kigali — Africa’s cleanest and safest city, Lake Kivu, extraordinary biodiversity and birding, and a profound culture of reconciliation and resilience.
