WHY THIS TRIP
Rwanda in 15 days: savannah, volcanoes, Lake Kivu and the chimpanzee forest
Rwanda is the Switzerland of Africa: green, orderly, safe. In 15 days you cross the whole country by jeep: day and night safari in Akagera National Park with a night in a tent in the savannah, the trek up the Bisoke volcano through bamboo and high meadows, two days on Lake Kivu, Nyungwe forest with the canopy walkway above the jungle and chimpanzee tracking at dawn, the King's Palace at Nyanza. Kigali at the start and the end, with the Genocide Memorial that shows you what rebirth means.
