Holidays in Rwanda

Rwanda Tourism
Wake up to a golden glow in the sky, mountains unveiling their mists, the air sweet and cool as it brushes your cheeks. Walk through a primeval forest bathed in green, thrill to the sight of that rarest of beasts, the mountain gorilla,
look into the eyes and look into yourself.

Reef and Rainforest - Rwanda
Known as The Land of a Thousand Hills, and with little more than one-third the land area of Scotland, Rwanda contains 20-odd lakes, numerous rivers, forests (including Nyungwe, one of East Africa's last high-altitude primary forests and with one of the highest biodiversity levels in Africa), five volcanoes, three very different national parks (savannah, mountain and forest) - and, of course, the mountain gorillas of Dian Fossey and Gorillas in the Mist fame.

Africa Guide - Rwanda
Rwanda is a landlocked country surrounded by Uganda in the north, Tanzania in the east, Burundi in the south, and Zaire to its west and northwest.

World66 Travel Guide - Rwanda
Rwanda, land of a thousand hills, is a tiny landlocked enclave in Central Africa. Sharing borders with Tanzania, Uganda, DRC and Burundi, Rwanda is experiencing a tourism rebound after falling off the map post-genocide 1994. The country is split by the Rift Valley, and dominated by a mountain range that traverses the country from north to south. The West coast of the country overlooks the beautiful shores of Lake Kivu. French and Kinyarwandais are spoken throughout the country though English is now commonplace with the massive influx of returnees from Uganda.

Lonely Planet - Rwanda
Rwanda once evoked images of gorillas and breathtaking mountain views, until the country was devastated by the attempted genocide of the Tutsi tribe in 1994. These days, much of the country is rebuilt, the economy resurrected, and travellers can move around much more safely.
