What to see in Rwanda?

Volcanoes National Park

Located in northwestern Rwanda, it borders Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. Volcanoes National Park is known as a refuge for mountain gorillas. It is home to five of the eight volcanoes in the Virunga Range (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo), which are covered in forest and bamboo.The park was created in 1925 as a small area bordered by Karisimbi, Visoke, and Mikeno, intended to protect the gorillas from poachers. It was the first national park created in Africa and the basis of the famous zoologist Dian Fossey. Later, in 1929, the park's boundaries were expanded into Rwanda and the Belgian Congo to form Albert National Park.

Nyungwe National Park

Located in southwestern Rwanda, Nyungwe Forest is probably the best-preserved forest in the mountains of Central Africa. It lies on the watershed between the Congo River basin to the west and the Nile River basin to the east. One of the branches of the West Nile River also flows from the eastern side of Nyungwe Forest.Nyungwe National Park was established in 2004 and covers an area of approximately 970 km² of tropical rainforest, bamboo forest, grasslands, swamps, and marshes.

Lake Kivu

Lake Kivu is one of the great lakes of Africa, undoubtedly one of the largest on the African continent. A huge teardrop of water surrounded by ancient forests, where lush nature lives. It is located on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the African part of the Great Rift Valley (in the Albertine Rift) and is the source of the Ruzizi River, which flows south and empties its waters into Tanganyika, another of the Great Lakes.Lake Kivu is home to around 28 species of fish, half of which are cichlids found only in this lake. Lake Kivu is the largest local source of fish in Rwanda, with more than 20,000 tons of fish per year and subsidizing fish imports for the production of animal protein, providing a livelihood for most of the surrounding population. An aquatic ecosystem on which millions of families depend, living on both sides of the border. On the Congolese side, the towns of Bukavu and Goma are home to the majority of its inhabitants, while on the Rwandan side, the same is true of urban centers such as Gisenyi, Kibuya, and Cyangugu.
