Overview

About Rwanda.

In the heart of Africa, Rwanda is a land of diversity and beauty, famous for gorillas. It shares the natural riches of both the Congo Basin and Great Rift Valley, resulting in unsurpassed biodiversity.

Among its many and enduring attractions are the primates, in particular the Mountain Gorillas; one of the most awesome wildlife interactions in the world. Nyungwe Forest National Park is the largest ancient jungle in the south of east/central Africa, dating back to the last ice age. The capital city Kigali is located at Rwanda's geographical heart. Kigali is blessed with a moderate high altitude climate and is conveniently located within three hours’ drive of Parc National des Volcans, home to the Mountain Gorilla.
