Tourism in Rwanda

Discover tourism in Rwanda with a complete guide: mountain gorillas, the national parks, Lake Kivu, clean and orderly Kigali, and practical travel, visa and accommodation information.

A Destination You Haven’t Discovered Yet — and Will Wish You Had Visited Sooner

Picture a country where mountain gorillas meet the shores of tranquil lakes, where the capital ranks among Africa’s cleanest cities, and where people welcome you with genuine warmth — this is the “Land of a Thousand Hills.”

Rwanda today is one of the fastest-rising tourist destinations on the continent, having introduced itself to the world through the “Visit Rwanda” brand you see on the shirts of major European football clubs. And yet, the experience of visiting still retains its authentic character, far from the tourist crowds — which makes this precisely the ideal moment to visit.


What Will You Experience in Rwanda?

Wildlife and Breathtaking Nature

  • Mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park — a globally rare experience available in only a handful of countries.
  • Akagera National Park for safari drives and Africa’s iconic big wildlife.
  • Nyungwe Forest, an ancient rainforest with its canopy walkways and chimpanzees.
  • Lake Kivu, with its beaches and quiet lakeside towns — the ideal setting for family relaxation.
