Rwanda

Een prachtig verbonden reis door mistige gorilla bergen, oude regenwoud, savanne en levendige Kigali.

Overview

Discover Rwanda.

Rwanda makes remarkable experiences easy to combine. In Volcanoes National Park, guided treks lead into bamboo forest for moving encounters with mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Nyungwe protects an ancient montane rainforest, while Akagera brings open savannah, lakes and Big Five game viewing to the country's eastern edge.

Short travel distances and thoughtful hospitality make Rwanda ideal for a focused escape or a seamless extension to Kenya, Tanzania or Uganda. Time in Kigali adds contemporary culture, design and a powerful understanding of the country's story.
