Rwanda – Educational Tour For Primary School

Rwanda is nicknamed the “Land of a Thousand Hills” for a reason. Its landscape doesn’t stop rolling, and the hills are dotted with plunging ravines, waterfalls, and ancient forests. Rwanda is also one of the only places on earth where travelers can trek among 13 species of primates, including the world-famous mountain gorillas and the rare golden monkey.

With a serene and modern capital city and excellent national park infrastructure, the country’s tumultuous past can feel worlds away—for travelers interested in learning more about Rwanda’s somber history and honoring the victims of genocide, there are many opportunities in Kigali and beyond. 

Rwanda has a tropical climate, meaning there’s a chance of rain no matter what time of year you visit. There are technically “dry” and “wet” seasons—which unsurprisingly align with the high and low seasons for tourism. Rwanda can be visited year-round, but the best time for gorilla trekking is during the short dry season from December-February, or the long dry season lasting from June-September. You may need to procure a permit further in advance, but you’ll appreciate the mud-free trails. 

Rwanda’s dramatic vistas are endless, with a fresh perspective around every corner.

Rwanda is full of beauty and manages to explore it all is easy, thanks to an excellent road network linking the core areas.

Warm and friendly, Rwandans are also respectful, thoughtful, and committed to the idea of progress, starting at the grassroots and running all the way to the top.

The west of Rwanda forms a branch of the Great Rift Valley known as the Albertine Rift. It has many unique, endemic species and is bursting with life.

Chimpanzees, golden monkeys, and other primates live alongside hundreds of brightly-colored birds, orchids, and butterflies.   And that is only scratching the surface…
