Mountain gorillas in the volcanoes and the “land of a thousand hills”.

Rwanda is one of the few places to trek to mountain gorillas, in Volcanoes National Park near Musanze. Clean and safe Kigali has a moving genocide memorial, and Lake Kivu’s shores around Gisenyi and the chimpanzees of Nyungwe complete the trip.
