ToursA thousand hills, and the gorillas of the Virungas
Rwanda is small, orderly and startlingly beautiful. Volcanoes National Park puts you within two hours of Kigali and a morning's walk of a gorilla family. It suits travellers with limited time who want one extraordinary encounter.
The long dry season from June to September gives the firmest trekking conditions.
