Rwanda

Also known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda’s stunning scenery and warm, friendly people offer unique experiences in one of the most remarkable countries in the world. It is blessed with extraordinary biodiversity, with incredible wildlife living throughout its volcanoes, montane rainforest and sweeping plains.

Travelers come from far and wide to catch a glimpse of the magnificent gorillas, yet there is so much more to see and experience.

Rwanda is located just south of the Equator; its climate is relatively warm throughout the year with cool nights due to its altitude. A bigger part of the country is located on small hills (plateaus) around 1500 meters above sea level. Only the southwestern part that borders the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Kigali the capital city of Rwanda is located right in centre of the country with stable temperatures all year round ranging from 26/28°F.
Much as the temperatures are relatively stable all year round, travellers often prefer to visit Rwanda during the drier period from June to September, during this period, tourists get to maximise the country’s untapped beauty including the mighty mountain gorilla. The rainy seasons, from March to May and November are the less crowded times and hence the best for tracking chimpanzees.
Whether you’re a domestic tourist discovering what makes home so special or visiting for the first time, there’s much to see and do when you visit Rwanda
