Why Visit Rwanda

Why do travelers choose Rwanda over its neighbors to visit? There are a number of reasons, the most common one being its easy accessibility to the rare and endangered Mountain Gorillas.

Many people come for the day to go Gorilla Tracking, something that is impossible in neighboring Uganda and The Democratic Republic of Congo, the only other habitats for the Mountain Gorillas.

Still others enjoy the good roads, the best in East Africa, making traveling within the country most enjoyable. Rwanda is rebuilding its tourism industry, after a most destructive period of civil unrest. The advantage of visiting Rwanda now is that one finds few travelers on the forest trails and safari roads to interrupt the majestic beauty of the scenery and its wildlife inhabitants. In the big game parks of Kenya and Tanzania, it is difficult to take a picture without another safari vehicle in the frame; in Rwanda this is not an issue.
