AMAZING Things to Do in Rwanda 2024

🌎 ✨ Rwanda may be a small country but it's packed with unique experiences: safaris in Akagera National Park, gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, a hands-on workshop with a women's social enterprise, and cruising on Lake Kivu, which has waterfront beach hotels. Kigali is a city that's modern and you must start at the Genocide Memorial, but also time your visit to the city during the NBA Basketball Africa League championship games every year.

This was hands down one of my absolute favorite trips, and I've had the privilege of experiencing many around the world!

At the end of the video, I share quick thoughts on ethical travel. I do my best to share my honest experiences that can serve as a guide for visiting Rwanda with mindfulness and care.
