Rwanda and Uganda are often overlooked travel destinations, but this nine-day journey will take you through their wild landscapes, rich in history and wildlife, so you can discover more than the average traveller. Learn about the devastating events that took place in Rwanda, then see what life looks like today in this naturally beautiful country when you visit the city of Musanze. Combine this with the incredible scenery and diverse animal life of Uganda, an unforgettable adventure searching for mountain gorillas and an expert local leader to guide the way, and this trip has all the makings of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
