Rwanda with making the transportation means so convenient it is so much easy to visit Akagera National Park on the short excursions from Kigali. Last year 2018 in December our travel media from Africa Talk Magazine was in Rwanda trying to find out the best Rwanda insights to expose to the world. While on his visit in Rwanda he explored several places and he started with visit to Akagera National Park which offers much more African wildlife animals and birds and much of them are found at the shores of the Lake Ihema and on either sun set boat cruise or normal boat ride you can see many.
After experiencing the wildlife he visited the Volcanoes National Park where he managed to spot the mountain gorillas and the golden monkey and due he visited in low season from November to May he paid $ 1050 USD per person and golden money at $ 100 USD per person but since Rwanda increased their gorilla permits from $ 750 to $ 1500 USD most travelers now interested to visit Rwanda always go in this green season. Thereafter, he spent the evening experiencing the Rwanda cultural performance at the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village a community for the once gorilla hunters and now Eco – warriors. Then, for those interested in home stay tourism this place offers suitable local accommodations and you can participate in various activities from the nearby local communities.
Though, he has limited time to find all the interesting places he did not but the few he visited is the amazing Aziz Life Experience and this one offers typically the local experience where he managed to visit communities and participating in activities like fetching water, digging, cooking local food like sweet potatoes and this is the same food that he or you can have as you lunch and feel your cooking skills and a bottle of soda is served to you on your lunch with the community members.
Rwanda has much more to offer and when it comes to Agro – tourism there is much more to experience from the tea and coffee plantations of several local communities and it offers much more employment to the communities. And on this experience you can too experience the coffee tour and have taste to the local coffee beans.
