Rwanda is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty and breathtaking scenery. The land of 1000 hills has tremendous topographically breathtaking scenery, including the Rift Valley with its Volcano Mountains, lakes, rivers and ancient granitic hills.
The landscapes in this ’green country’ are truly breathtaking. Rwanda’s mountainous topography is a product of its position on the eastern rim of the Albertine Rift Valley, part of the Great Rift Valley, which cuts through Africa from the Red Sea to Mozambique, forming a mountain range that traverses the country from north to south.
It is one of the most scenic tourist destinations that qualify to be a photographer’s paradise because it boasts wonderful people, awe-inspiring lakes, astonishing scenery, just the right climate, rare species of apes, particularly the mountain gorillas and an amazing irregular landscape whose valleys and peaks combine with the sky to produce captivating moods. The West coast of the country overlooks the beautiful shores of Lake Kivu.
