Rwanda FAQs: What to Know Before You Visit

Rwanda, the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” is a small, landlocked East African nation that has transformed into one of the continent’s most stable, clean, and technologically forward-looking destinations. Its lush, mountainous terrain is headlined by Volcanoes National Park, home to roughly one-third of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas and a premier site for high-end primate trekking. Beyond the mist-covered peaks, visitors can explore the massive montane rainforest of Nyungwe, walk the high-altitude canopy, or track the “Big Five” in the savannahs of Akagera National Park. The capital, Kigali, is widely celebrated as one of Africa’s cleanest and safest cities, featuring a poignant Genocide Memorial that serves as a testament to the nation’s profound journey of reconciliation and rebirth.
