RWANDA

LAND OF A THOUSAND HILLS

Rwanda - Gorilla Trekking

Remarkable Rwanda is just that. Like a Phoenix rising from its turbulent past this is a surprising country – safe, clean, proud and breathtakingly beautiful with loads to offer the adventurous traveller. Trekking endangered Mountain Gorillas may top every traveller’s list, but you’d be missing so much if you visited for just a few nights. One could easily spend a week exploring the forests, lakes and game parks of this East African Gem. From canopy walks in Nyungwe Forest to canoeing on Lake Kivu, the Land of a Thousand Hills is, as Lonely Planet suggests, “a front row seat to the Jungle”.

The Volcanoes National Park, at the foot of the Virunga mountains bordering Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is home to the endangered Mountain Gorillas that survive thanks to Dian Fossey, the researcher who dedicate her life to the study and protection of these gentle giants, and whose grave can be visited on a beautiful yet challenging hike up the mountain slopes. The lifetime experience of spending an hour in the company of a gorilla family is truly something that will be hard to top on your Travel Bucket list.

Nyungwe Forest, which stretches for 970 square kms across southeast Rwanda, is one of the world’s most ancient forests, dating back to before the Ice Age. The canopy walk, suspended 75m above the forest, offers an exhilarating bird’s eye view over one of the most important ornithological sites in Rwanda, where almost 3020 bird species reside. Lake Kivu, one of the Great African Lakes, offers a tranquil beach escape, whilst Akagera National Park to the East of the country boasts three ecoregions: savannah, mountain and swamp – and 4 of the big 5 with Rhino soon to be introduced.

Remarkable Rwanda is just that – from humble, hopeful locals to the many natural gems, unique wildlife encounters and a haunting history, there are countless reasons to visit and even more to return again.

Please note: The manufacturing, importation, use and sale of polythene bags is prohibited by law in Rwanda.  Please avoid the use of polythene bags (which are usually used for carriage of goods purchased in duty free shops) in order to avoid the importation of polythene bags and support the implementation of this law.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS
  • Our guide for the first part of the tour, Joseph Mutebi, was outstanding.  In addition to being a very safe driver, he was very attentive to our needs and made us feel most welcome in Uganda from the first moment we stepped out of the airport arrivals hall.  He has an exceptionally sharp eye for spotting birds (and other wildlife), and a keen ear for bird calls as well.  He was very patient and proficient in helping us to locate and see what he had spotted, and he could identify the birds as quickly and accurately as the local guides (even with their specialized local knowledge). We had a nice birding rhythm and a great tour with Joseph, and we were very sorry when we had to say goodbye to him midway through our tour.  We have travelled extensively in southern and eastern Africa, and we can honestly say that Joseph is one of the finest guides we have encountered.

  • I’m just back from a great trip to Botswana. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, the transports were seamless, and we saw a lot of animals. Thank you for all your work putting the itinerary together and making the reservations.

  • We want to thank you for the wonderful itinerary that you developed for us last week in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
    We enjoyed each area and all that they had to offer. But, we had to admit that our favorite was Moremi Crossing. The people, food, accomodations and activities were delightful, personable and relaxing.

    Again, many thanks for making our African experience so memorable.

    Sincerely
    Ed and Elizabeth Griffith

  • Hi I just wanted to tell you that we stayed at your Serengeti Wilderness Camp, and it was just terrific. It was a great blend of simple and rustic, but still comfortable. Mostly, I wanted to compliment the staff. They were all very professional and saw to our every need. And highest marks must go to your amazing chef. I wish we could have stayed long enough to try every menu. If he opened a restaurant in Los Angeles, people would flock to it! So thank you so much!  I have relatives planning to come to Tanzania in the fall- do you have your rates for that time set? It would be two couples in two separate tents.

    Thanks so much!

  • It was nothing short of amazing. There was sooooooo much about the trip and country that amazed us, we were totally impressed. The serengeti lived up to it’s reputation for viewing and the crater – “WOW”!! – at one stage I turned to Syd and said “I think this is what the garden of Eden was like” it is definately one thing that should go on everyone’s bucket list.

  • Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time on our safari! Our guide, John Lantara was excellent, the accommodations were great, and generally the food was quite good. They gave us far too much food, we were stuffed by the end. I’m surprised our flight from Serengeti could get off the ground 🙂

    Best regards,
