Longer gorilla safaris in Rwanda
Rwanda lies on the eastern rim of the Albertine Rift, a western arm of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, and the watershed between Africa’s two largest river systems; the mighty Nile and Congo River. Much of the Rwanda’’s 26,338km2 is dramatically mountainous! The highest peak is Karisimbi (4,507m), part of the volcanic Virunga chain in the northwest, also a home to mountain gorillas.
The country is densely populated and heavily cultivated, characterized with even the steepest hills outside of conservation areas being tightly terraced from base to peak. Lake Kivu is the largest water body in Rwanda. Numerous other lakes are dotted around the country, notably Burera and Ruhondo twin lakes, Muhazi and Mugasera, all have erratic shapes following the contours of the steep mountains into which they are enclosed.
