Rwanda is known for her majestic mountain gorillas and dramatic mountain views, but also offers a rich biodiversity, charming local culture and some of the world's most iconic eco-sensitive accommodation. Rwanda is justifiably one of Africa's ultimate 'off-the-beaten-track' destinations.

When to visit
Rwanda is considered a year-round destination. If gorilla trekking is your primary motivation, we recommend visiting during the short rain months of December to February, and the dry season months of June to September to ensure easier conditions for hiking.
