Tours & Activities in Rwanda

Rwanda is the world's most densely populated country in sub-Saharan Africa, yet has one of the continent's most stable and developed economies.

Mountain gorillas, found only in the volcanic rainforests of Rwanda, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of Congo, are critically endangered with fewer than 900 individuals remaining in the wild.

Rwanda is known as the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' because of its steep, rolling terrain that covers nearly the entire country.

Kigali is one of Africa's cleanest capital cities, partly due to mandatory community service days where locals volunteer to clean public spaces.

The Rwandan genocide of 1994 lasted 100 days and killed approximately 800,000 people; today, the country has become a symbol of reconciliation and recovery.

Visitors to Rwanda are required to wear a 'gorilla permit' (a tracking document) that costs $1,500 USD per person and is strictly limited to protect the mountain gorilla population.
