Rwanda, the “Land of a Thousand Hills” in East-Central Africa, is known for its breathtaking landscapes, including volcanic mountains and lush forests. Recovering from a tragic history, the nation has achieved remarkable economic progress and political stability.
Kigali, the capital, reflects cleanliness and orderliness. Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Akagera National Park safaris, and cultural experiences contribute to Rwanda’s emerging status as a sustainable and ecotourism destination.
Rwanda features a temperate tropical highland climate. The country has distinct dry (June to September) and wet (October to May) seasons. Temperatures remain relatively consistent, with Kigali, the capital, experiencing an average high of 27°C (81°F). The higher elevations contribute to cooler temperatures. Rwanda’s climate is conducive to year-round visits, although the dry season is often preferred for gorilla trekking and wildlife viewing.
