Luxury holidays in Rwanda
A once-divided country, Rwanda has emerged united as a sustainability icon with a prosperous capital, wildlife-stalked savannahs, and protector of the endangered mountain gorilla. Known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, this small country certainly lives up to its name, and exploring the Akagera National Park, Nyungwe Forest and the Virunga Volcanoes will show you why. Rwanda may be landlocked in eastern Africa, but it won’t deny you some beach time, and the shores of Lake Kivu offer just that with emerald waters and matching leaf-coated valleys. The serenity that now encircles this pictorial region offers a refreshing contrast to its turbulent past.
Destinations in Rwanda
-
Home to lion and leopard, Akagera National Park lies on Rwanda’s eastern border with Tanzania, and is marked by bronze-hued savannahs, limitless open plains and, in rainy season, wetlands, rivers and lakes.
-
Catch a glimpse of Rwanda’s cheeky chimps as you wander through the unspoilt valleys of Nyungwe National Park.
-
Volcanoes National Park, in Rwanda’s rainforest-dense north, is home to the Virunga volcano chain, mist-laced peaks and bird-soundtracked trails. But its most illustrious draw is the chance to encounter endangered mountain gorillas.
