Rwanda Safaris: Gorilla Safari Rwanda

Rwanda topography

Travel Hemispheres welcomes you to Rwanda !

Rwanda is small country on the highest African Plateau about the size of Wales. It is land locked country in the heart of the continent. It is generally known as a land a thousand hills where few volcanoes stretch in the horizon..The undulating hills and mountains ever covered by mist every morning form  a good scenery - hence “the gorillas in the mist”. Rwanda is bisected by  the Rift valley forming enclaves and good natural forest  habitats for over 600 bird  species and the famous mountain gorilla National parks that houses the last  surviving gorillas on earth. Akagera National park is set in the east, Nyungwe Forest in the southern part while the Volcanoes National park is in the northern  part of the country bordering Uganda and Congo.
