Famed for its Gorillas, Rwanda is a country of ever changing landscapes and friendly people.  It is a country full of surprises.

For an authentic experience of gorilla trekking in Rwanda, the expert guides and privileged access provided by Abercrombie & Kent are essential.

Perhaps most surprising of all is the beauty of the country.  With much more to offer than gorilla trekking, Rwanda is a land locked gem just half the size of Scotland.  It is spectacular to behold and more than worthy of its epithet of the land of a thousand hills, Mille Collines.  Misty, moody rainforest in the south gives rise to lushly forested volcanoes and bamboo in the north.  Dugout canoes ply the tranquil waters of Lake Kivu in the west and undulating grass plains of Akagera in the east are interspersed with light acacia woodlands.

Its smiling people are wonderfully friendly. They have courage and warmth and yet there is an innocence to them that is not always so evident in other parts of Africa.

Even successful gorilla trekking in Rwanda brings a surprise. No matter what you are told beforehand, little can prepare you for the privilege - their eyes are so compelling, soft and brown, full of curious gentleness, inquisitive yet also accepting. As Dian Fossey said in 'Gorillas in the Mist', "The expression in his eyes was unfathomable. Spellbound I returned his gaze - a gaze that seemed to combine elements of enquiry and acceptance."
