Land of a Thousand Hills

There are fewer sights more spectacular than seeing the Silverback Gorillas in their natural habitat. Trek to the Virunga mountain range where the rolling green scenery is almost as spectacular as the wildlife itself. When not trekking through the jungle, spend some time in Kigali, an emerging hub of cuisine, music and artwork. Take time to engage with local entrepreneurs and visit the genocide museum to learn not only about Rwanda’s painful past, but her resilience in building a hopeful future.

When to go: all year round
