About RwandaFactsRwanda, popularly known as a land of a thousand hills is a stable East African country, easily accessible from Kenya and Uganda. It is relatively easy, safe and simple to travel around. It is landlocked, surrounded by Uganda to the north, Tanzania to the east Burundi to the south, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west. It has five volcanoes, twenty-three lakes and numerous rivers, some forming the source of the River Nile.

GovernmentRwanda is a Presidential unitary Republic that is based upon a multiparty system governed under the constitution that was adopted in 2003 replacing the transitional constitution that was put in place in 1994. The President of Rwanda is the Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Among his other responsibilities are powers to create policy, administer government agencies, exercise the prerogative of mercy, negotiate and ratify treaties, etc. The President is elected by popular vote every seven years, and appoints the Prime Minister and members of Cabinet. The Rwandan Parliament is composed of two chambers, namely the Senate and the lower chamber-the Chamber of Deputies serving 5 year terms. The members of the Senate are selected by a variety of bodies and they serve eight-year terms. Rwanda has low corruption levels and the constitution provides for an Ombudsman whose duties include prevention and fighting of corruption. There is an existing policy of zero tolerance for corruption and any corrupt tendencies are handled seriously. The current constitution divides Rwanda into provinces, districts, cities, municipalities, towns, sectors and cells with each subdivision and its borders established by Parliament. The five provinces act as intermediaries between the national government and their constituent districts to ensure that national policies are implemented at the district level.

GeographyThe country lies 75miles south of the Equator, 880miles west of the Indian Ocean and 1250miles east of the Atlantic Ocean - literally in the heart of Africa.

Mountains dominate central and western Rwanda. These mountains are part of the East African Rift Valley. The highest peak, which is also Rwanda’s highest point, is Mount Karisimbi. The vegetation ranges from dense equatorial forest in the Southwest to tropical savannah in the east.

ClimateThe temperature averages 24-27°C (generally 30°C in the daytime and minimum 15° C at night, though it is often much colder in the mountains where snow and frost occur). Visit Nyungwe Forest if you would like to experience “winter” in tropical

Africa. The rainfall averages 900-1,600mm p.a. Rainy seasons are normally from February to April and November to January, although there have been some weather pattern changes recently.

CurrencyThe national currency is Rwandan Franc (RWF). As at the end of June 2015, 1 US Dollar (USD) was equivalent to 720 RWF. The smallest-value note is a 500 RWF note, which is the smallest note in physical size, as well. There are also notes in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 RWF, with the larger notes becoming slightly larger in physical size. There are no notes over 5,000 RWF. Many places in Rwanda now accept credit cards, however it is advisable to carry some cash with you just in case, especially if you are travelling outside of Kigali longer than a few days. The smallest value coin is 1 RWF.

However the commonly used smallest value coin is 100 RWF. It is common for most businesses in Rwanda, including currency exchangers and gas stations, to round transactions to the nearest 100 RWF. There are ATMs all over Kigali, for every bank branch. Depending on your bank, this can be a much cheaper way to get francs because the ATMs use a much better exchange rate than currency exchanges.

Just two hours drive from Kigali lies Rwanda’s largest National Park. Covering an area of 112,000 hectares the park is named for the Akagera River that flows along its eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes. Rolling hills of Acacia bush, panoramic views across scattered grasslands, patches of thick forest and a mosaic of swamp-fringed lakes along the meandering Akagera watercourse all contribute to this parks unrivalled scenic beauty. Akagera is home to the country’s big game. Large herds of buffalo, zebra and giraffe are seen on the open plains while eland, roan and topi are found on the hills. Elephant tend to stay around the lakes, which are inhabited by large numbers of hippo and crocodile. Conservation not-for-profit, African Parks, have partnered with the Rwanda Development Board for the management of the park, a conservation success story and unique wildlife destination.

AKAGERA NATIONAL PARK

Set at a relatively low altitude on the border with Tanzania, Akagera National Park could

scarcely be more different in mood to the breezy cultivated hills that characterise much of Rwanda.

Rolling hills of acacia bush with panoramic views across scattered grassland, patches of thick forest and a mosaic of swamp-fringed lakes along the meandering Akagera watercourse contribute to this park’s almost unrivalled scenic beauty.

Akagera is unique in Rwanda as the only savannah environment in the country. Large herds of buffalo and impala, zebra and topi are commonly seen on the open plains, whilst smaller antelope such as oribi, klipspringer, bushbuck and reedbuck exist widely throughout the park. Elephants tend to stay around the lakes which are inhabited by large populations of hippo and crocodiles. Baboons and vervet monkeys are commonplace, less so is the secretive blue monkey. Leopard; hyena and jackal are also residents and may be seen on a night drive along with genet, serval, bushbabies, porcupine and other nocturnal wildlife. An important population of sitatunga lives in the papyrus swamps along with other rarities such as the shoebill

and other papyrus endemic bird species.

Camping alongside the picturesque lakes of Akagera is a truly mystical introduction to the wonders of the African bush. Pods of 50 hippopotami grunt and splutter throughout the day, while outsized crocodiles soak up the sun with their vast jaws menacingly agape. Magically, the air is torn apart by the unforgettable duetting of a pair of fish eagles, asserting their status as the avian monarchs of Africa’s waterways. Lining the lakes are some of the continent’s densest concentrations of waterbirds, while the connecting marshes are the haunt of the endangered and exquisite papyrus gonolek and the bizarre shoebill stork - the latter perhaps the most eagerly sought after of all African birds.

NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK In the southwest corner of Rwanda Nyungwe Forest National Park is vast untouched tropical rainforest with a high dense canopy. Nyungwe became a national park in 2004 when Rwanda sought to increase its tourism beyond the countries

mountain gorillas

Nyungwe National Park is a very rare and important habitat for many species, especially primates and birds. And at over 1000 square kilometers, Nyungwe is Africa’s largest protected mountain rainforest.

With about 310 bird species, 26 of which are endemic, Nyungwe is one of the most important and still undiscovered bird watching destinations in Africa. Reaching to almost 3000 meters above sea level with Mount Bigugu the highest point in the Park, Nyungwe’s forests extend to altitudes occupied by few other forests in Africa.

Nyungwe is also home to one of Africa’s greatest concentrations of chimpanzees and a sometimes noisy, acrobatic combination of other primates such as Rwenzori colobus and L’Hoest’s monkeys.

A variety of hiking and walking trails criss-cross the Park leading to a canopy walk, primate tracking adventures, the southernmost source of the Nile and ecotourism attractions. The park includes a

colorful array of orchids, butterflies, moths and other insects.The beauty cannot be fully expressed on paper; you just have to plan a trip across the majestic hills of southeast Rwanda.

VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARKTo the north lies the most famous destination in Rwanda Volcanoes National Park which has become synonymous with mountain gorilla tracking safaris and no visit to the country would be complete without visiting these majestic primates.

It includes Rwanda’s highest point; Mount Karisimbi 4507m and two active volcanoes, Mount Nyiragongo and Mount Nyamuragira.The massif which covers 8000km encompassing six active and three extinct volcanoes is a home to around half of the world’s precious mountain gorilla. This makes Rwanda probably the best place in Africa for a tracking safari.

Volcanoes national parks headquarters are based in the nearby village of Kinigi the administrative centre for permits and the place where all visitors gather in the morning for briefings before starting on their gorilla treks.

It is important to note that issuing gorilla tracking permits is strictly regulated in Volcanoes National Park so it is advisable to plan your trip ahead, particularly if you want to travel to Rwanda in busy period between June and September.

There are other several tourist sites and opportunities in the park and surrounding area.one gets a chance to climb to Mount Bisoke or even hike to the summit of Karisimbi mountain the 5th highest mountain of Africa.Within the area there are a number of community based tourism experiences on offer. For example visiting villages, an ethno botany tour, fishing with local fish men or simply enjoying the breath taking scenery of the area.

VARIOUS ACTIVITIES TO DOGOLDEN MONKEYSBeyond the gorillas that made Rwanda famous, wildlife junkies will be thrilled to know they can track another species of primate called the golden monkey. The golden monkey can be found in volcanoes national park and their rich colours, energetic, demeanour and sizeable troupes of up to 30 individuals are indeed a sight one ought to behold.

There are two habituated troops of golden monkeys in volcanoes national park and the larger troop in Sabyinyo volcano with 800- 100 is the most visited.

MOUNTAIN GORILLA TREKKINGA silverback (mature male) weighs nearly three times as much as the average man (up to 200kg). The Mountain Gorilla is a distinct species from its cousin the western lowland gorilla and was unknown to western science until 1902.

Gorillas share 97% of their genes with mankind. They are highly sociable, moving in troops of between 5 - 50 animals typically comprising a silverback, three or four wives and several young.

Females reach sexual maturity in their eighth year, males when they are around 13. Gorillas have few natural enemies and can live for up to 50 years in the wild. A female gorilla has a similar gestation period to humans, and may raise up to six offspring if she lives to old age. Gorillas spend most of their waking hours on the ground, but sleep in trees, each building itself a temporary nest.

BIRD WATCHINGRwanda has one of the highest bird counts on the continent. It has a number of birding species to be seen. This gives visitors the chance to see some of the Albertine rift endemic bird species. There are over 600 species in Rwanda and this is amazing.

The key area for bird watching in Rwanda is the vast Afromontane forest of Nyungwe national park and it is recognized as an important bird area.

Prior to the reintroduction of the lions and, more recently, rhinos

the Akagera Management Company (AMC) had to ensure that the park was ready to receive the two species by, among other things, recovering snares, reducing poaching and illegal activities, maintaining a fence separating the park and the land outside and also through continued community liaison efforts, where the Park made all efforts to ensure that the communities living on its borders are all aware of the return of these iconic species. People were gathered through meetings, schools visits (where at least 1,800 children from school bordering the park visit every year) and sports events. Having more than 200 staff employed from the local community was an added bonus.

In order to involve the community in conservation,

and have an opportunity to reach people to discuss conservation initiatives, AMC organise annual sports events. Football and Cycling are two of the most popular sports in Rwanda.

The Lions Cup, an annual football tournament in which nine sectors bordering the park compete for a prize, was established in 2014, prior to the lions’ arrival. It was an event to celebrate the return of the lions to Akagera National Park, and Rwanda. Since 2014, every year, up to 25,000 total spectators have attend these matches and the conservation message is passed on to remind people of their role in the sustainability of Akagera National Park, generate awareness and engage public thinking on the importance of the lions and rhinos for Akagera Park, their communities and for the development of the country.

The Rhino Velo race, is an

event that people in the community have been cheering since the return of the rhinos in May 2017. Hundreds of people, of all ages, line up on the sides of the roads around the park to cheer on the cyclers with local bicycles. While this is intended to be fun and enjoyable, with prizes for the winners, it also creates awareness of the importance of having the Eastern black rhino in Akagera Park. With less than 900 of this sub-species left in the world Rwanda has a significant population, a responsibility to look after them and an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the future of the species. This year, on the 8th December, both the final of the Lions Cup Football Tournament for 2018 and the Rhino Velo Race will collide for an explosion of sports in the East! We are hoping to have more participants from all over Rwanda, residents

and internationals, join in the fun. And after the events participants can enjoy a visit to the park since the events will take place nearby the southern entrance of the park. We look

The home stay in Musanze for the festivities: Creating lifelong memories with locals

Hotel Review

By Janvier Mbabazi, Tourist guide (BGE)

Musanze, a city in northwest Rwanda is the gateway to

Volcanoes National Park, home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. The park encompasses the soaring Mount Karisimbi and 4 other forested volcanoes.

On the town's outskirts, dense greenery surrounds the bat-filled Musanze Caves. To the East, Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo are set against a backdrop of verdant hills. This is what makes it the most preferable tourism destination in Rwanda.

Apart from the attractions highlighted above, the city has more unforgettable experiences to offer as there

are more companies that provide different immersive experiences and adventures with local communities around the Volcanoes National Park in a bid to support the locals, adventure better and conserving the nature.

With the festive season upon us,where everybody is looking for specials that will help make this special time even more of a celebration, home stay experience is among the festive season specials available in Musanze that are sure to make people rejoice. Even though the experience is not popular in the Rwandan hospitality and tourism industry; it changes the views about a country and makes people understand the Rwandan culture.

Spending a day or a couple

of days at “Mu rugo “, which literary means “at home” with the local family introduce you to memorable experiences as you enjoy their daily life. Being part of their daily activities like digging the land, fetching water, collecting firewood, food preparation and the storytelling during the nightfall make you get pleasure from this unique experience in the country of the so called country of thousand hills.

While staying in Musanze some companies are highly recommended for such activity and others in the area. Beyond the Gorillas Experience, a tourism social enterprise composed of the youth from the vicinity of the Volcanoes National Park is among those companies which can link you to that kind of services you can do before and after visiting the Rwandan Parks.
