Introduction
Rwanda vacations always brings to mind the brilliant movie “Hotel Rwanda,” which reflects the country’s great tradition of heartfelt care and hospitality through the performances in the film. Rwanda has much more to offer apart from its hospitality that is worth mentioning .Rwanda is located in Central Africa and has a population of around 11.5 million people. It has its own share of civil unrest and political instability but now the country is thriving and an ideal place to enjoy the famous Rwanda vacations.
History
Rwanda has had to face a lot of troubles in the past. It had a problematic history with rebel groups and militia. The country unfortunately had to face the infamous Rwanda Genocide that saw the loss of many Rwanda citizens. This is not lost on the current populace of the people of Rwanda who have built many memorials which should be visited during your Rwanda vacations to pay respects and listen to what the history of this brave nation has to say.
Features
Rwanda vacations now primarily focus on trekking. Not ordinary trekking but intact Gorilla Trekking. Rwanda houses four gorilla families in its natural reserve, the “Parc National des Volcans.” So tourists who are in for some rare mountain gorilla safari can also enjoy the perfectly kept safe majestic volcanoes and the rich green rainforests. The trekking starts with walking through the huge green fields and swamps. As the road abruptly ends, tourists enter the reserves where they are amazed and delighted by the rich and colorful chirps and voices of many bird species and jungle voices. One would be astonished to know that there have been 180 birds species recorded within this forest and thus all bird watchers out there would love to visit this nature wonder. Another great vacation spending spot in Rwanda is the Kabgayi Church Museum .It is a huge cathedral that was built in 1925. It’s not only a cultural and religious artifact of Rwanda but also a historical treasure. One should try also to go to Kigali, a fast growing city of Rwanda .It has not only an international airport but also boosts many hotels and restaurants where you can get affordable lodgings and try the rich and mouth watering Rwanda cuisine. The aura of the city is also very warm and as opposed to the fast paced modernization of the city there is still a lot of greenery present in the city. It has a pleasant climate perfect for vacations. Also music and dance are a very integral part of the citizens of Rwanda and their dances are highly choreographed and practiced like “Intore.”
