Situated in central Africa, Rwanda is a country of astounding natural beauty. Known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, its majestic ranges are blanketed in lush tropical rainforests. The rolling scenery is accentuated with vast glimmering lakes and striking dormant volcanoes, most famously the Virunga volcanoes, where you'll find the world's last remaining mountain gorillas hidden deep in the bamboo forests.

Renowned for its unparalleled concentration of incredible nature and wildlife, Rwanda has four national parks, Volcanoes National Park, Gishwati-Mukura National Park, Akagera National Park, and Nyungwe National Park. Here you can trek through rainforests to find native golden monkeys, a growing population of chimpanzees, and rare troops of mountain gorillas and silverbacks. Descend from mountains to discover Lake Kivu, Rwanda's largest lake and the sixth largest in Africa. Boasting some of the best inland beaches in Africa, Lake Kivu offers swimming, kayaking, and even scuba diving below the mystical depths. You can stay overnight on the eastern shore and take a day trip to Napoleon Island, home to thousands of bats.
