Following its recent troubled past, the Land of a Thousand Hills offers warm hospitality and its tourism industry is emerging as a frontrunner in its commitment to sustainability and community engagement. Famed for the iconic Volcanoes National Park, where transformative gorilla trekking experiences can be enjoyed amid the mist-clad mountains, the rolling savannahs of Akagera National Park invite 4×4 big game safaris whilst the extraordinarily biodiverse Nyungwe Forest is a haven for birdlovers and home to a popular treetop canopy walkway where you’ll likely find yourself walking in the company of primates. Here, the positive impact of conscious travel can truly be felt, with support of Women’s Cooperatives, community cafes, great ape conservation and so much more.
