Rwanda is a country of stunning natural beauty, with rolling hills, lush forests, volcanoes, and serene lakes. While mountain gorillas are the main attraction, visitors should not miss the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo. Located in Musanze, in northern Rwanda, these lakes were formed by volcanic activity when Mount Sabyinyo erupted, blocking the Nyabarongo River and creating the two freshwater bodies.
Lake Kivu, part of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, is one of Rwanda’s most spectacular natural attractions. Covering a surface area of 2,700 km², it is Rwanda’s largest lake and the sixth largest in Africa. Surrounded by towering mountains and deep green waters, Lake Kivu offers a combination of serenity, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes, making it an essential stop for any Rwanda safari or eco-tourism itinerary.
Nyungwe Forest National Park is one of Africa’s oldest and largest mountain rainforests, offering unparalleled biodiversity, primate encounters, and natural beauty. Located in south-western Rwanda, this special mountainous region is also the furthest source of the River Nile, making it both ecologically and historically significant.
