Rwanda really lives up to its name with scenic landscapes, idyllic rolling hills, and mountains beyond mountains.

Lake Kivu from a Bird's eye View

Rwanda being one of the remaining strongholds of up to two thirds of the world's mountain gorillas, aggressive conservation efforts in the last 10 years have helped breed around 179 mountain gorilla infants, usually cerebrated and given names during the “Kwita Izina” ceremonies, inspired by the Rwandan baby naming tradition following the birth of a new baby.

For savvy travelers, Rwanda is commonly known for its stunning Mountain Gorillas, which explains why visitors swoop in to track gorillas and then fly out without exploring the other magical treasures including a variety of landscapes, wildlife sight-seeing in the national parks, and the tropical white sandy beach on the shores of the biggest Lake of this beautiful country - Lake Kivu.

Rwanda, with over 700 species of birds among which is a large number of endemics, is considered to be a bird watchers' paradise especially for Americans who are big birds enthusiasts. It has also got a wide range of primates including golden monkeys, chimpanzees or chimps, etc. 

You cannot really tell what it is about this country, but it simply has a special spirit to it.  You feel at ease in Rwanda–it’s CLEAN, SAFE, and FRIENDLY.

An opportunity to visit this beautiful country is not to be missed.
