Rwandan Holiday

  

November 2010
 

 


We took 15 UK Adventurers to Rwanda for a holiday of a lifetime and to open the Health Post. Without exception they all agreed that Rwanda is a safe and beautiful country. The double highlights of the visit were "The Gorillas in the Mist” on the shrouded Virunga mountains a day spent at Musenyi meeting all the villagers and children, who have benefited from their help followed by the grand opening of the Health Post. We also went on Safari to Akegera National Park, took a trip on Lake Kivu and other trips to The Culture Village, Handicraft Centre and the Genocide Museum.
 
   
 
The cost of the holiday was £1,608 per person and included flights, Transport, accommodation and all the trips out each day. We have 15 Adventurers going and we will post a report with photo`s upon our return in the November News letter and on this website
