In addition to Rwanda’s spectacular wildlife, travelers will also discover a rich and hospitable culture, beautiful and varied scenery, a vibrant and impressive capital city, and so much more. By beginning a partnership with Virtuoso, Visit Rwanda will ensure advisors are the first to know about the national parks’ exciting new product offerings, pertinent COVID-19 updates, and the webinars, training opportunities and special promotions available for a limited time.
