Despite being one of the smallest countries on the African mainland, Rwanda turns out to be a marvelous destination too. Travelling to Rwanda is very enjoyable. The country is one of the only three countries where the endangered mountain gorillas are found. Leave alone the gorillas, Rwanda also slots up among the few African countries with the big five animals. These animals are found in Akagera National Park, apparently the best place of wildlife viewing in Rwanda. Nyungwe Forest National Park is apparently the largest montane forest in the East African region and has its own canopy. Visiting Rwanda comes with a lot of desolation when you visit the genocide memorial monuments and merriment when you see the gorillas in their wilderness. The Rwanda tourism industry isn’t so diverse but the few safari activities that are there are gold mine. Rwanda has their own airline and you will get to save a lot on flights especially if you are travelling from any of the few countries like United Kingdom where they operate from. Over the years, we have organized so many successful Rwanda travel holidays. These range from budget to luxury to super luxury. We are ready to do the same for you at very affordable prices.
Just like every other travel destination, planning is a very crucial stage of your expedition. The better yo plan, the more swift your vacation will be. Rwanda is an all year round tour and travel destination but visiting during certain months is recommended. Also, you have to know some vital information, rules and regulations, how to stay safe and how best you can enjoy your travel holiday.
Why travel to Rwanda?
The best reason to visit Rwanda should be mountain gorilla trekking. The country is famously known for gorillas and of course having the best conservation efforts regarding gorilla tourism in the world. If your primary reason for visiting is seeing the Big five game animals, Akagera National Park should be your preferred destination.
Chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest is an experience like no other. The magical canopy walk experience should be a spice to your adventure. Lake Kivu has some of the finest beaches of Rwanda right at its shores. It is not only a perfect spot to relax and engage in multiple water sports but also the best destination for Rwanda honeymoons. For mountaineers, Rwanda has five of the 8 Virunga Volcanoes to challenge your physical fitness. The highest of all and hardest to climb is Mount Karisimbi.
Much as there isn’t so many reasons to visit Rwanda, you can definitely make the most of the few activities that are available.
When to go on a Rwanda travel holiday
It is best to visit during the dry months of the year. These include December to February and June to September. You can still visit outside these months only that rain fall can easily ruin your adventure if unlucky.
Is Rwanda safe?
Rwanda is a very safe place for tourists and expatriates. These two category of persons get to even enjoy certain benefits that even citizens do not. Tourists are hardly stopped along the way by traffic officers. The president highly respects tourists in all aspects.
