Small farms on hill, not far from Lake Burera, near Ugandan border

Overview

A shattered country slowly letting the world back in.

Rwanda once evoked images of gorillas and breathtaking mountain views, until the country was devastated by the attempted genocide of the Tutsi tribe in 1994. These days, much of the country is rebuilt, the economy resurrected, and travellers can move around much more safely.

Travel warning! - Border Alerts

Travellers are advised to steer clear of the borders of Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo due to outbreaks of armed conflict.
