Rwanda

A land of endless mountains and steaming rainforests, this is Africa at its most sublime. Expect mountain gorillas, rainforest hikes, and a welcome unlike anywhere else in the world.

Known as the 'Land of a Thousand Hills', Rwanda offers a slice of Africa that's far removed from the familiar scenes of the savannah, an African holiday that remains very much off the beaten track. A world amongst the clouds, a holiday to Rwanda is all about nature at its rawest, from its vast national parks and volcanoes to its unique wildlife, most notably its mountain gorillas. With a holiday characterised by treks and hikes, you'll soon discover that Rwanda really is best explored the authentic way: by foot. 

Our Top Rwanda Experiences

Best Time to Visit  

The best time to visit Rwanda is between the drier months of June to September, when the weather is characterised by warm days and cooler nights; this is also the best time to spot mountain gorillas in the wild.
