Rwanda voted best African Exhibitor at ITB – Rwanda gorilla safaris and tours.
The 2015 International Travel and Tourism Fair (ITB) in Berlin, Germany, ran from March 1st to the 4th, and Rwanda, often known as “A Country with a thousand hills,” was named the best African exhibitor. This is evidence that Rwanda’s tourism marketing efforts, which are much more extensive than Uganda’s, are beginning to pay off.
Rwanda has grown become Africa’s premier destination for mountain gorilla tracking, despite its notorious 1994 genocide, which saw the cold-blooded killing of a large portion of the population (mostly Tutsis). This is mostly due to the fact that gorilla permits in Rwanda are much more costly than in Uganda.
After tarmacing its roads and receiving praise as one of Africa’s cleanest capitals, Kigali is poised to reap the economic benefits of an influx of tourists. Rwanda lags behind Uganda in terms of tourist attractions, with the exception of their beautiful culture, the gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, the semi-habituated chimps in Nyungwe National Park, and Kagera National Park. Regardless, Rwanda is more appealing than Uganda because to the government’s heavy investment in tourism, which has helped alleviate the scarcity.
Since Rwanda is struggling in other areas like agriculture and manufacturing, among others, tourism continues to be a significant source of foreign currency for the nation, and government investment in the industry is high.

Gorilla trekking with us in Rwanda means getting up close and personal with habituated gorilla families. Approximately 10 habituated gorilla families are accessible for daily trekking. Every day, no more than eight individuals may visit any one household. Among the several lodging options in Volcanoes National Park are the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge and the Lebambou Gorilla Lodge. Trekking Golden Monkeys and seeing Diane Fossels Grave are two things to do at Volcanoes National Park.
Trek with chimpanzees and take a canopy hike in Nyungwe Forest National Park. This woodland is well-known for its bird viewing and has populations of semi-habituated chimpanzees. It is well worth it to spend at least one night at the Nyungwe forest lodge.
The beaches of Lake Kivu are home to hotsprings and fishing communities, which may be explored on boat trips. The Serena on Lake Kivu is one of various lodging options.
Kigali is a great place to come for a city tour and to learn more about the 1994 genocide and the reconciliation efforts that the present administration is promoting at the Genocide Memorial Center.
