Destination overview

The "land of a thousand hills" has become famous against its will. The war opposing the Hutus and the Tutsis gave rise to one of the deadliest genocides of the XXth century. It is a shame however to sum this country up by its wounds. Rwanda conceals many treasures. Nothing compares to a hike inside its caves, in the heart of the Virunga volcano range, by the side of its numerous lakes and along its rivers. It is on this territory that the Beringei gorillas have chosen to live. The American anthropologist, Dian Fossey, dedicated her life to the famous "silverbacks". The mythic film "Gorillas in the Mist" recounts her action.

pros

  •  French is a language used for communication
  •  The mountain gorillas and the landscapes.

cons

  •  The 1994 genocide is still present on everybody's mind and has left visible marks in the country.
  •  The unsafe zones are in the North and South of the country.

Our Editorial team's advice

You must be careful, Rwanda is a country emerging from one of the civil wars that has marked the XXth century. The trials of the genocidal figures are currently being held, prisons are overcrowded and the process of recovery could go on for many years. However, the mountain gorillas of the Virunga volcano range offer, without a doubt, the most renowned attraction. Additionally, the picturesque shores of lake Kivu are recommended for a holiday.
