Rwanda
Gorilla trekking. Bird spotting. Primeval forests.
Why take a tailor-made holiday to Rwanda?
Rwanda is truly beautiful, with its jungle-smothered volcanoes, its hills and valleys covered in a dense patchwork of banana, maize, sorghum and tea plantations, and its gorgeous lakes and rivers, Rwanda overflows with tropical lushness.
As well as being home to the largest and most easily accessible mountain gorilla population in the Parc National des Volcans, Rwanda has teeming bird-life in the magnificent rainforests of Nyungwe, as well as wide-open plains with a completely different ecosystem.
Now well into the healing process since the genocide of 1994, Rwanda’s people have created a remarkable museum as a “never-again” reminder; to visit it is a deeply moving and very worthwhile experience. In the capital, Kigali, and other towns, a raft of new places to stay, eat, drink and dance have created a real buzz – enhanced by the Rwandans’ great love of life.
What is the accommodation like in Rwanda?
There are some new, stylish lodges and camps are beginning to be developed but it's still a place where expert guidance is essential and the more adventurous traveller will be happiest.
When should I visit Rwanda?
Rwanda is best visited in December through March and July through to October
All itineraries are individually designed but as a guideline we can arrange four days in Rwanda from £2500/ $3750 per person excluding flights.
