Safari Experiences in Kenya
Small in size and easy to travel around the country, Rwanda has ideally dealt with its tragic past and welcomed tourists for several activities in the country. There are many attractions to see in Rwanda, and so are several activities to do. Here are the top activities (things) to do in Rwanda;
The highest peak in the impressively mountainous 26,338 square km nation is Karisimbi (4,507m). This is part of the volcanic Virunga chain and is protected by Volcanoes National Park (Parc des Volcans). Lake Kivu is the largest water body.
The historical legacy, climate, geography, and populace of Rwanda are what have shaped the nation into what it is today. In 1884, the Germans colonised it, and during the First World War, it was governed by the Belgians. As a result of the Rwandan genocide, the locals’ situation deteriorated quickly, but they have since largely recovered. Subsistence farming and tourism are the main drivers of the economy. Unexpectedly, Rwanda has a climate that is more comparable to that of Germany than other African nations. In the centre of the nation is Kigali, the nation’s capital and largest city.
The primary tourist attractions in Rwanda are hunting for mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, seeing primates in Nyungwe Forest National Park, and going on game drives and Rwanda wildlife safari tours in Akagera National Park. Untamed Wilderness Travel Uganda takes you on a safari tours in Rwanda to experience its natural beauty, rich culture, and diverse wildlife. Visit Rwanda, the nation of a thousand hills, to experience the mountain gorillas, Volcanoes National Park, Nyungwe Forest, Mount Bisoke, Mount Gahinga, Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, Lake Ruhondo, and much more.
