Rwanda in October

A stunning country clearly undergoing renewal and regeneration after the genocide. Our party all felt a greater focus could be given to the genocide memorials an we requested stops at various memorials every day. These locations were sympathetically done, and we must continue to remember these events. I will recommend Rwanda to everybody, utterly captivating country with beautiful people and gorillas!

It was a six day mini-tour of three National Parks in Uganda. It met my need to sample more of the country before starting a one-month volunteer role in SW Uganda. I wanted to see a sampling of wildlife, landscapes and culture. I had no interest in luxury, I just wanted to feel a bit better informed about Uganda and to feel more experienced.

I had a fabulous trip to Rwanda. I had no idea what to expect and I must say that I was impressed by how well organised and clean the country is. The main roads are in perfect condition. People are extremely welcoming and friendly.
