About Rwanda
Landlocked East African Rwanda has had a troubled recent history. Now however, the scars are thankfully healing and Rwanda is firmly back on the travel map. Known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda is a land of great natural beauty and a superb ecotourism destination. Most people come here to see the silverback mountain gorillas made famous by the film Gorillas in the Mist. Unspoilt and enchanting, this 'land of a thousand hills' is a unique part of Africa. Lesser-visited than its East Coast neighbours, this only adds to its appeal. Most holidays to Rwanda are arranged in the hope of catching a glimpse of the incredible mountain gorilla during a walking safari; the dramatic landscape of Volcanoes National Park is one of the best places in the world for gorilla sightings.

September 2019
We came to Kenya for our honeymoon and organized our 4 day private safari trip with Andy, leaving from Nairobi and stopping at Lake Nakuru, followed by Masai Mara and back to Nairobi. We were throughly satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend Andy who went out of his way to tailor the trip to our preferences including letting.
