The land of a thousand hills

Don't just visit Rwanda. Cross it.

Rwanda is not simply a gorilla destination. It is a connected landscape of volcanoes, rainforests, lakes, savannah, culture, conservation and one of Africa's most remarkable modern stories.

In a relatively small country, you can move from the volcanic slopes of the Virunga Mountains to ancient rainforest, from chimpanzees and canopy walks to lions, rhinos and elephants, and from quiet lakeside towns to one of the continent's most welcoming capitals.

The journey can be focused on gorillas, built around wildlife, shaped around culture, or designed as a complete crossing of the country. Kingo Adventurers can connect the places in between the famous destinations.
