Is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley of Central Africa, where the African Great Lakes region and Southeast Africa converge. Located a few degrees south of the Equator, Rwanda is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The rolling scenery is accentuated by vast glimmering lakes and striking dormant volcanoes, most famously the Virunga volcanoes, where you can find the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas hidden deep in the bamboo forests.
