Rwanda Travel Guide

A flight to Rwanda is a ticket to adventure. With its past troubles aside, Rwanda captivates travellers with its tapestry of mountains and rainforest inhabited by rare primates. Take flights to Rwanda for city breaks in the rapidly evolving capital Kigali. Explore the markets and vibrant Muslim Quarter, pausing to pay tribute to victims of atrocities at the emotive Genocide Memorial Centre. Southern Rwanda takes in Butare's National Museum, showcasing artefacts and crafts. Edge west to Nyungwe National Park's montane forests to glimpse acrobatic Angola colobus monkeys, or north to track endangered mountain gorillas in the Volcano National Park. Wealthy Rwandans take flights to the beach at lakeside Gisenyi in the shadow of Congo's Nyiragongo Volcano.

A Rwanda holiday evokes new culinary experiences. Tuck into frites - a throwback to Belgian colonisers - with goat kebabs and urwagwa (banana beer). Tilapia comes fresh from the lake in Gisenyi and world flavours fill Kigali's restaurants. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Rwanda. Book a ticket to Rwanda to experience top events; from Kigali's Rwanda Film Festival in March to feasting at August's Harvest Festival.
