Why Rwanda
Visiting Rwanda, “the land of a thousand hills,” is one of the great wildlife adventures on the planet.
Kigali - Modern and Safe Heartbeat

From vibrant shopping malls in the city centre to lively markets, Kigali offers many activities to keep you engaged for days.
Volcanoes National Park
The late Dian Fossey studied the behaviour of the endangered mountain gorillas on the bamboo-covered slopes of the majestic Virunga Mountains, leading to the making of Gorillas in the Mist.
