Why go on holiday to Rwanda?
Rwanda is a non-coastal nation in the southwest of Uganda and is also considered the Land of a Thousand Hills. Rwanda has five volcanoes, twenty-three lakes, and several rivers. The mountainous landscape is the result of the location at the eastern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, a fraction of the Great Rift Valley that runs through Africa from the Red Sea to Mozambique.
You may find that there are three main conservation areas in Rwanda called Volcanoes Park, Akagera Park and Nyungwe Park Forest which all protect an amazing grouping of huge mammals. Akagera chains a typical savannah fauna subjugated by a diversity of antelopes, zebras, buffalo, giraffes, aquatic hippopotamuses, lions, leopards and spotted hyenas. The best place in the world to follow mountain gorillas is Volcanoes Park. At the same time, Nyungwe provides guests with an excellent chance of spotting chimpanzees and a multitude of 400 colobus monkeys, which are the largest horde of arboreal primates in Africa today.
Rwanda is a magnificent hideaway for bird watchers, with an incredible 670 documented species in a region that is smaller than Belgium and has less than half the land area of Scotland. Nyungwe and Akagera are beautiful places to watch birds. A wide variety of birds are found all over the place for your pleasing sight.
Gisenyi is the main hub for the expedition in the Parc des Volcans. The craters can be seen on a plane ride. Located north of Lake Kivu, it extends over numerous possibilities for water sports or for a pleasure trip on the lake. A little further from the south is the lakeside resort called Kibuye. On the southern shore of the lake, there are impressive Kaboza and Nyenji Caverns and the hot springs at Nyakabuye and in the nearby area, there is the Rugege Forest which is home to countless rare varieties of flora and fauna.
Kibungu (Umutara) is in the east of the field and in the middle of an area of lakes and waterfalls, along with Lake Mungesera and Rusumo Falls. It is also in the southernmost neighborhood of A’Kagera National Park, which envelops more than 2,500 square kilometers of savannah west of the A’Kagera River. A’Kagera National Park encompasses a diversity of the natural world and is home to more than 500 varieties of birds.
One of the last refuges of the mountain gorilla is in the northwest of A’Kagera in the Parc des Volcans. This area has volcanic mountains, of which two, Nyamuragira and Nyiragongo.
Rusumo is a wonderful and amazing waterfall of the A’Kagera River, a part of which also leads to the headwaters of the Nile River. It is located in the eastern region of Rwanda on the border in the middle of Tanzania.
Stretching 970 kilometers, Nyungwe National Park runs through the majestic hills of southeastern Rwanda. Rwanda is the largest patch of montane forest in East or Central Africa, and one of the oldest, dating back to before the last ice age, found in southern Rwanda, next to Burundi.
