Rwanda is a captivating country located in the heart of East Africa, on the Great Rift Valley fault line. Known as the 'Land of a Thousand Hills', it combines the misty volcanoes of the Virunga mountain range, the dense rainforest of Nyungwe, the Big Five-filled savannah at Akagera and the serene waters of Lake Kivu. After its exemplary process of reconciliation and development, Rwanda has established itself as one of the cleanest, safest and pioneering destinations in ecotourism and conservation on the planet.
