Known as ‘the land of a thousand hills’, Rwanda is a lush, hilly country with more than a third of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas living amongst the bamboo-covered slopes of the Virunga Mountains in the Volcanoes National Park. Rwanda is a peaceful country, full of promise and one of the cleanest countries in the world. Conservation programmes in Rwanda have been very successful with wildlife numbers increasing every year.

- Kinyarwanda, French, English and Swahili are the official languages of Rwanda. Kinyarwanda is spoken by nearly all Rwandans. French, English and Swahili are widely spoken and understood.
- Rwanda has a year-round tropical highland climate. Rain is common in Rwanda with the driest months being June to mid-September and the wettest from mid-February to May and mid-September to mid-December.
