DISCOVER RWANDA
Rwanda is a landlocked country situated in central Africa. Also known as ’the land of a thousand
hills’, Rwanda has five volcanoes, twenty-three lakes and numerous rivers, some forming the
source of the River Nile. The country lies 75 miles south of the equator in the Tropic of
Capricorn, 880 miles ’as the crow flies’ west of the Indian Ocean and 1,250 miles east of the
Atlantic Ocean - literally in the heart of Africa. Rwanda is bordered by Uganda to the north,
Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south and the democratic republic of Congo to the west.
Anyone visiting the land of a thousand hills is in for a multitude of surprises. The loveliness and
variety of the landscapes in this green country is dominated to the north by volcanoes and
bordered by Lake Kivu to the west. In Rwanda the great animals of the wild are protected from
poachers and roam free in the vast national parks. The Volcanoes National park in the Virunga
volcanic mountains with its high altitude forests, are world famous for mountain gorillas - timid
and passive family oriented giants - which is teeming with wildlife both large and small, while
Lake Kivu to the west offers beautiful beaches, jutting peninsulas and an archipelago of islands.

AKAGERA NATIONAL PARK AND MUHAZI
Set at a relatively low altitude on the border
with Tanzania, Akagera National Park could
scarcely be more different in mood to the
breezy cultivated hills that characterize
much of Rwanda. Dominated scenically by
the labyrinth of swamps and lakes that
follow the meandering course of the
Akagera River, the most remote source of
the Nile, this is an archetypal African
savannah landscape of tangled acacia
woodland
interspersed
with
open
grassland.
lucky visitors might stumble across a
spotted hyena or even a stray lion.
Giraffe and zebra amble through the
savannah, and more than a dozen types of
antelope inhabit the park, most commonly
the handsome chestnut-coated impala, but
also the diminutive oribi and secretive
bushbuck, as well as the ungainly tsessebe
and the world's largest antelope, the
statuesque cape eland.
Akagera is, above all, big game country!
Herds of elephant and buffalo emerge from
the woodland to drink at the lakes, while
