Vacation In Rwanda
Author: admin
Known as the “land of thousand hills” Rwanda was the backdrop of one of the most chilling and tragic chapters of recent history. Having spent the past decade rebuilding, Rwanda is now characterized by resilience and promise. Discover the sites of its thriving capital city Kigali. Visit a local market, meet artisans at a potery project and get a taste of local culture at the Franco-Rwandan Cultural Centre. Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre. Stop in at the Hotel des Mille Cillines - made famous by the movie Hotel Rwanda - on the way to the Virunga Mountains.
Spend a day tracking gorillas in the forested hills of the Parc National des Volcans in the lush Virunga Mountains of Rwanda and observe their behavior at close range. Follow local guides through thick undergrowth and dangling vines in search of gorilla families. Once you find them, sit among these gentle giants, observing their interactions, listening to their distinctive grumbles and viewing one of the planets most endangered creatures from an aweinspiring, up close perspective. At the Karisoke Research Center learn about current gorilla studies and conservation efforts.
You can also strike out into the lower reaches of the Parc National des Volcans and lookout for golden monkeys, a distinct species of primate that can often be found in thick bamboo stands.

Set out on a wildlife safari amid the incredible diversity of landscapes in Tanzania’s most famous game parks: Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Visit the Olduvai George where on expedition in 1960, Homo habilis, regarded as one of the earliest members of the human genus was discovered. Four decades later, in 1999 a 3.5-million-year-old skull and partial jaw believed to belong to a new branch of early hominid was also found discoveries that have shaped our understanding of human origins.
Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and flamingos.
Ngorongoro crater is 2,000 feet deep and its volcanic slopes shelter almost 30,000 animals. You may see elephants, rhinos, buffalo, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, hippos, wildebeests as well as a variety of birds and ungulates. Crater floor is sprinkled with watering holes and the crater is a volcanic caldera that spans an area more than 100 square miles.
You can witness the great annual wildebeest migration in the Serengeti National Park. Embark on an early morning game drive to view wildlife at one of their most active times of the day. Look for herds of zebra or wildebeest eyeing a predator warily and spot crocodiles as their snouts surface in the Grumeti River. Or take in a birds-eye view of the plains on hot-air baloon ride.
