A remarkable tour of western Rwanda - not to miss! - The tour was very well planned and prepared. Our driver-guide Chris was driving very thoughtfully, safely and without any rush. The night and day in Gishwati Forest is a life-time experience. You can see a fine forest, but not so much animals. The guides in the forest are very polite and helpful. The boat trip on Lake Kivu is big fun! We could easily tell our guide to show us some landmarks we wanted to see, including two genocide memorials, an indispensable topic for any visit of Rwanda. Greatly recommended!
