10 Things to do in Rwanda on your honeymoon

Rwanda is a small landlocked country found in east Africa and covers an area of 26338 square meters. She shares borders with Uganda, DRC, Burundi, and Tanzania. Rwanda is known for its beautiful hills, volcanoes, mountain gorillas, and handsome people, but sadly for also enduring one of the worst genocides in recent history. Rwanda is a healing nation, which was rebuilt by the government of President Kagame. She is now considered a benchmark for how other countries can organize their people, curb corruption, and set up efficient systems for resources. The new government has achieved one of the greatest things due to the beautiful weather, endless hills, volcanoes, lakes, rivers, and wildlife. In this article, we are going to show you incredible activities you can do on your honeymoon in Rwanda.

Many visitors on Rwanda tours describe Rwanda as the kind of beautiful country they would want to live in for the rest of their lives. The famous National Museum at Butare, a traditional king’s palace at Nyanza, is a historic monument that stores artifacts from the past, forming the foundation stone on which Rwanda as a country is built.

Travelers on tour in Rwanda get an aerial bird’s-eye view.

It’s highly recommended for travelers on safari in Rwanda to have a lunch break in Gisenyi, a lakeside town, and later venture for a one-hour boat cruise before proceeding to their hotel in Musanze 30 minutes later, as you wind up with the 6th day of your 11-day Rwanda honeymoon package with primates.

You will meet up with other gorilla trekking members, register, and check for health status as per Rwanda gorilla trek regulations. You will be escorted by the rangers into the thick forest. This exercise involves moving paths of feeding gorillas to catch up with them. Gorilla trekking is fun because it is exciting and hard.

The golden monkeys live together with endangered mountain gorillas in the same habitat in Rwanda. Tracking the golden monkeys is one of the best safari activities that you will ever enjoy while on a safari in Rwanda. Therefore, you don’t need to miss out when you come and visit this great safari, which is so interesting and wonderful.

The activity starts early in the morning with a briefing and it is done in conjunction with the armed rangers while following the trails well set or established for this great safari activity of golden monkey tracking.

Trekking with golden monkeys and visiting Gorilla Guardian Village
