Wonders of Rwanda
  Highlights
Rwanda is a densely inhabited country with undulating hills, gorgeous lakes and volcanoes. We can all hope that the country has left the nightmarish 1990s in the past, now it is comparatively progressive, tidy and welcoming.
Rwanda is an increasingly popular destination for the observation of fauna and jungle walks (including treetop walks). Nevertheless, in spite of the impressive landscape, there are few well-known landmarks of international fame.
Below are listed some of the most amazing natural and man-made wonders of Rwanda.
