RWANDA

Rwanda may be a small country by African standards, but this ‘Land of a Thousand Hills’ is brimming full of dynamic experiences. Wildlife enthusiasts can trek a multitude of primates, ranging from the infamous Mountain Gorillas, to our even closer cousins the chimpanzees, as well as smaller but more acrobatic varieties like golden monkeys and black & white colobus monkeys. Akagera National Park in the east of the country offers traditional vehicle safaris while Nyungwe Forest in the south west has numerous hikes and East Africa’s only canopy walk. Active travelers can include more energetic activities including guided road and mountain bike trips, along with canoeing and kayaking.
