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.

The forests of Uganda and Rwanda are Earth’s most treasured animal habitat. Roughly 700 mountain gorillas, along with chimps, butterflies, birds and countless other species make their home around the lakes and volcanoes of Rwanda’s and Democratic Republic of Congo’s Virunga mountains and the forests of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
It takes strength and patience to track gorillas in the forest, but the payoff is inspiring and unforgettable. To observe a family of mountain gorillas grooming and eating is to connect with a more primal aspect of yourself.
Visit the Karisoke Research Centre to learn about these majestic and endangered animals.
