Top highlights for MICE in Rwanda

Gorilla Trekking
The most unique experience on a safari
Journey through the misty jungles of Volcanoes National Park for an encounter with the world’s largest living primates, mountain gorillas. The experience has been described by many as truly special, one that gives you goosebumps in disbelief that you are living right in the moment. Gorillas are so dear to Rwanda that there is a whole event “Kwita Izina” dedicated to naming newborn gorillas.
Kigali City Tour
The capital
Explore Rwanda’s vibrant capital, one of the cleanest and safest cities in Africa, The Kigali Genocide Memorial takes down memory lane, offering insights into the country’s history. The city is also a hub of art and culture, with vibrant markets, contemporary art galleries and craft centers showcasing the creativity and talent of local artisans. Kigali’s diverse culinary scene reflects a blend of traditional Rwandan flavors and international cuisine to your delight.
Lake Kivu
Rwanda’s Largest Lake
Known for its stunning views and pleasant beaches, Kivu is one of the largest lakes in Africa. Exploring its clear waters on a kayak is a peak activity for many and knowing that you won’t have hippos or crocodiles for company adds to the fun. Cooling off at the beach is a great way to relax from the long gorilla trek but in case you’re still hungry for more, the Congo Nile Trail that goes around Kivu presents great biking or hiking experiences.

Nyungwe Forest National Park

Nyungwe’s dense forests are also a heaven for birdwatchers, with over 300 bird species. A standout feature of the park is its thrilling canopy walk, the only one of its kind in East Africa. Suspended high above the forest floor, the canopy walk offers a unique, exhilarating perspective of the rainforest. As you traverse this elevated pathway, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the treetops, spot a myriad of wildlife and catch a glimpse of Lake Kivu.
Golden Monkeys Experience

These vibrant primates, characterised by their golden-orange fur and playful demeanour, are exclusive to the Virunga Mountains and are considered a rare treasure of the region.
