GET WILD IN RWANDA'S RAINFORESTS
One of the rarest and most memorable moments is meeting the gentle gaze of the endangered mountain gorilla in their natural rainforest habitat.
Finding their refuge in the verdant, steep slopes of Rwanda's mountains, gorilla or chimpanzee trekking is a humbling and empowering experience, all at once. And although you'll be getting your boots dirty out there, you'll return to the lap of luxury at the world-class accommodation options available to you.
Even though being gay is not illegal in the country, it's still a controversial topic among locals, and public displays of affection should be limited when out in public. If you want adventure and leisure in one luxury holiday, Rwanda is for you.
