From stretched savanna plains to the lush rainforests with chimpanzees & mountain gorillas, and from the bustling capital Kigali to the idyllic Lake Kivu: Rwanda has it all! The “Land of a Thousand Hills” has been impressively restored after a turbulent history and is ready to be discovered.
Rwanda owes the nickname ‘Le pays des Mille Collines’, or the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills’, to its beautiful landscape. Everywhere there are rolling hills with lush tea plantations, tropical rainforest,s and picturesque Rwandan villages. This is Africa at its best! The northern Volcanoes National Park guarantees adventurous treks on the volcanoes and encounters with the endangered mountain gorillas & golden monkeys. On the vast Lake Kivu you will experience the local fishing life and breathtaking sunsets. Track chimpanzees in the tropical Nyungwe Forest or take walks between the bright green tea plantations. In the eastern Akagera National Park you might spot the big 5 during the jeep safari! Besides its rich nature and wildlife features, there will also be time to reflect on the turbulent Rwandan history.
