Hoogtepunten

Hiking Mount Gahinga offers breathtaking features such as the Volcanic Caves and a caldera at its peak. Mount Gahinga is the smallest and lowest of the 8 Virunga Volcanoes, standing at 3474 meters (11,464 feet) above sea level, with its borders shared by Uganda and Rwanda. Gahinga is loosely translated as “Pile of stones” in the local Kinyarwanda language. The hike takes you through the bamboo forest, a paradise for a medley of wildlife species such as mountain gorillas, Black-fronted duikers, golden monkeys, bushbucks, etc. The volcano's peak has a beautiful swamp with unique flora and stunning views.

About Kigali

Kigali is Rwanda's capital, a tidy city on green hills in the middle of the country, with memorials, craft markets and routes to gorilla country.

Kigali spreads across several hills in the heart of Rwanda, at about 1,500 metres, so the air is mild all year. The Kigali Genocide Memorial tells the story of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and honours those buried there. The Kandt House Museum holds natural history displays in the house of the German colonial resident Richard Kandt, and the Inema Arts Centre shows contemporary Rwandan art.
