Fast becoming one of the new trendsetting exotic, off the beaten track destinations in the world, with an aggressive airline expansion strategy, and also a key location for business and conference tourism.
Rwanda is the little cousin of Uganda, in terms of its tourism diversity, but by no means less interesting or appealing to the high end eco tourist wanting a National Geographic style primate encounter.
Also defined mostly by a quick 3 night/4 day in and out visit for a high end lodge in the Volcanoes National Park region, which is the same area that offers Gorilla encounters in the neighbouring country of Uganda
Rwanda is geared for the 5 star, well travelled, upwardly mobile, active and fit adventure traveller, who can afford a high end sustainable tourism experience.
The focus, of course, lies mostly with the gorilla encounters, and with permits starting at USD 1700 per person for a morning gorilla trek into the mountains.
The lodges are owned by various regional brands who have opened their doors to the Kosher market. Thus the ability to delivery a good quality Parev Kosher meal, with new pots pans, separation from main non Kosher kitchens, and a host of detailed order lists, to import Hechsher stamped products from South Africa, means this is possible, with advance notice.
Experience the great migration in Kenya or Tanzania with an easy hop across to the capital city Kigali. Spend one night in the cleanest city on the continent. Hop onto an air charter or a lengthy road transfer to the north, for an incredible encounter with gorillas, as well as a host of other smaller primates in the highlands of the Volcanoes National Park in North Western Rwanda.
