Rwanda
Land of a Thousand Hills
Where the hills meet the mist
Rwanda — the “Land of a Thousand Hills” — is Africa’s most polished safari secret. Trek mountain gorillas through the volcanic Virungas in the morning and dine in a design-led lodge by evening. Compact, immaculately clean and remarkably safe, it pairs profound wildlife encounters with a moving, hopeful national story.
