|---|
Rwanda is not just the land of a thousand hills and a million smiles. It is also country rich in flora and fauna and a stunning natural beauty, manifested in its scenic rolling hills and breathtaking green savanas. The country boasts some rare species of animals like the silverback Gorillas as well as birds and insects in the tropical forest of Nyungwe. Tourists shouldn't miss the country's big five virgin national parks, especially Akagera and Virunga. Unlike other places of similar high caliber, Rwanda has yet to be overrun with tourists. Visitors have the opportunity to explore pristine nature and vibrant culture in an authentic setting. |
