land of 1000 hills
Known as ‘the land of a thousand hills’, Rwanda is a lush, hilly country with more than a third of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas living amongst the bamboo-covered slopes of the Virunga Mountains in Volcanoes National Park. Rwanda is a peaceful country and one of the cleanest countries in the world. Conservation programmes in Rwanda have been very successful with wildlife numbers increasing every year.
- Situated in the African Great Lakes region, Rwanda is dominated by mountains in the west and savanna to the east, with numerous lakes throughout the country. With four national parks, a thriving capital city, spectacular scenery and diverse wildlife, Rwanda has plenty to do and explore.
- Kinyarwanda, French, English and Swahili are the official languages of Rwanda. Nearly all Rwandans speak Kinyarwanda. French, English and Swahili are widely spoken and understood.
- Rwanda has a year-round tropical highland climate. Rain is commonplace in Rwanda with the driest months being June to mid-September and the wettest from mid-February to May and mid-September to mid-December.
