Rwanda – Remarkable 1000 Hills

Rwanda is synonymous with a thousand rolling hills and mountains that breathe life into the Greater Virunga Region, home of the world’s remaining population of Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys. It’s shores of Lake Kivu conceal some of the best inland beaches in Africa, while Nyungwe Forest National Park provides home to many primates including chimpanzees and one of the best canopy walks in the world. Rwanda has emerged from its dark past to become one of the safest countries in Africa, with much to offer visitors.

Kigali, Rwanda’s capital is known as the greenest and cleanest city in Africa with flourishing infrastructure. This includes a state-of-the-art convention center and some of the best accommodation brands like Marriott International Inc. and Radisson Blu. Such powerhouse brands have catapulted the hilly city into a major business hub. A sobering visit to Kigali Genocide Memorial Museum will show you how this country has managed to overcome its dark history of 1994 genocide that claimed over one million people.

 Akagera National Park offers interesting safari opportunities where you can see elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, leopard and recently re-introduced lion.
