Rwanda Holidays

Rwanda holidays offer lush forests, incredible birdlife and the chance to see majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.

This small landlocked country (the fourth smallest in Africa) boasts one of the world's biggest wildlife experiences - the chance to see endangered mountain gorillas. Part of the great Virunga Mountain Range, the dense forests of the beautiful Volcanoes National Park are renowned as one of the last remaining habitats of these great apes.

Although most visitors come to see the gorillas, Rwanda has so much more to offer besides with spectacular mountain scenery, a thriving capital and friendly people. The vast rainforest of Nyungwe Forest National Park has incredible biodiversity and is home to a large population of chimpanzees, while the shores of serene Lake Kivu feature sandy beaches and fishing villages.

The genocide of 1994 looms large in Rwanda's modern history, but the country has since united to become the peaceful optimistic place that it is today. A visit to Kigali's Genocide Memorial is worthwhile to learn about the events of this horrific period.
