Rwanda has transformed itself into one of Africa's most forward-thinking and welcoming destinations. Clean, safe and strikingly beautiful, the Land of a Thousand Hills offers some of the continent's most exclusive wildlife encounters.
Volcanoes National Park is home to habituated families of mountain gorillas — the encounter of trekking through bamboo forest to sit within metres of these gentle giants is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest wildlife experiences. The park is also home to golden monkeys and the dramatic Virunga volcanoes.
Kigali itself is one of Africa's most vibrant and liveable cities, with excellent restaurants, art galleries and a remarkable story of reconciliation and renewal.
