RWANDA
RWANDA has now returned as a tourist destination, a small country with excellent gorilla trails and so much more to see and do. Take a look at the Land of Perpetual Spring
LAND OF PERPETUAL SPRING (4 Days)
For those who may not have the time, you will be delighted to know that Rwanda is back on the map!
DAY 1 — Arrive in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital where you will be met. You will drive to Kinigi, near the Volcanoes National Park headquarters.
DAY 2 — Early in the morning drive into the National Park, where some of the remaining mountain gorillas live. A very few gorilla family groups have learned to accept human visitors, however Rwanda has for many years cultivated the families enabling you to approach safely to within a few feet.

UGANDA AND RWANDA
Uganda and Rwanda, in the southern hemisphere, have rains from late March to the end of May, and to a lesser degree, in October and November. From October through December, the gorillas are moving toward the bamboo area, which necessitates a longer tracking period.
