Things to do in Ruhengeri, Northern Province: The Best Walking Tours
Ruhengeri is a city and capital of Musanze District in the Northern Province of Rwanda. Some sources now refer to the city itself as Musanze, after the district in which it lies. This has to do with the adopted policy of renaming Rwanda cities, which was done to eliminate terrible memories of the past and to install new administrational infrastructure in the country. Ruhengeri (Musanze) lies near the twin lakes of Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo and is the gateway city to Volcanoes National Park and the famous mountain gorillas in the north-western part of the country.

I contacted New Horizon tours and services after seeing good reviews about their services and I was not disappointed. Emmanuel and Monica were good at responding to emails and calls and provided me with all the relevant information for my trip and were flexible. Their prices are competitive, and I appreciated that they provided me with accommodation options. The road trip to and from Kigali was with a good and comfortable car. Once I was offered my package, I was able to customise it to my desire. The highlight of my trip was the canopy walk at Nyungwe forest and when there I decided to do a 2 hour hike the hike in the forest (Umuyove trail) I experienced the rain forest in full since it started raining a little over an hour into the hike and we continued to the end. I highly recommend them.

We had an absolutely amazing time on our two-day tour with Kawira! Iddy was a fantastic guide, extremely friendly and knowledgeable and lots of good conversation along the way. Ian went above and beyond to organize our tour as well as help us organize other parts of our vacation. Nyungwe Forest is just stunningly beautiful and is a must-visit for a trip to Rwanda. I can't recommend Kawira enough - great tour and lovely people!
