The Land Of A Thousand Hills
The Land Of A Thousand Hills
Rwanda is nicknamed ‘the land of a thousand hills’ and it’s easy to see why: from the soaring volcanic peaks of the Virunga Mountains in the north, to the wooded highlands of Nyungwe Forest National Park in the south, the country is characterized by rugged, jungle-covered, landscapes, home to all manner of flora and fauna including the endangered Mountain Gorilla.
Away from the mountains, the spectacular, wildlife-rich Lake Kivu is one of Africa’s great bodies of water, its shores feature a number excellent beaches, charming villages, and myriad hotels and resorts, whilst Kigali, the capital, is a vibrant and welcoming city, with a wealth of cultural, historical, and gastronomic offerings.
