The “land of a thousand hills,” a direct translation from the French “Pays des Mille Collines,” is an apt description for the verdant country of Rwanda.

From the volcanoes, to the jungles housing a third of the world’s remaining gorillas, to the largest rain forest in Africa, Rwanda has a history of environmental conservation. Many people may first associate the country with the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, but a visit is often an eye-opening experience as guests discover today’s Rwanda, a peaceful land of friendly people who are highly optimistic about their country’s future.

Rwanda is Known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” Rwanda rests just below the equator and its size, while small—about the size of Maryland—has a rich geography with mountains, savannas, and many lakes.
