Silverback's Adventures Provides Access to Rwanda's Land of a Thousand Hills
Kigali, Rwanda (PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- It is a stunning morning on the shores of Lake Kivu. Sunbirds twitter in the tropical foliage, children play on the hotel terrace, and parents sample the extensive breakfast buffet. Americans have not yet discovered Rwanda as a "family" adventure destination, but the European community, American and Chinese diplomats have, judging by the diversity of guests present at the Kivu Sun Serena Hotel. John Kayihura, owner and operator of Silverback's Adventures (www.silverbacksadventures.rw), brings this experience and many others to travelers wishing to experience what the heart of Africa has to offer. Kayihura combines his life long passion for adventure travel with a successful career in travel and tourism in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. Silverback's Adventures is a registered member of the Rwanda Tours and Travel Association (RTTA).
The Land of a Thousand Hills is struggling to some extent to overcome its past, but has made remarkable strides in the years since the 1994 genocide. To deny the history of this country would be another tragedy, but Rwanda has moved forward and tourism will be the bedrock of its future. Kayihura recognizes this, and the optional first stop on any travel itinerary is the Genocide Museum in Kigali.
"Rwanda will not deny her past, but is moving forward and recognizing her strengths," he says. The stunning natural beauty of this region and the tenacity and warm nature of Rwanda's people are terrific assets.
"We at Silverback's strive to see to it that our unspoiled jungles, rivers and lakes are left for future generations to enjoy. This will only be achieved by teaching the youth to understand, love and conserve this unique region of tremendous bio-diversity and beauty while providing our visitors with an unforgettable experience," Kayihura says.
Silverback's highly qualified and friendly staff of office personnel, drivers and guides become like family members to clients.
Most adventure travelers will want to visit the mountain gorillas made famous by Dian Fossey, but Rwanda has many other destinations which Silverback's Adventures can tailor to any itinerary.
A'Kagera National Park is located in eastern Rwanda, and shares the border with Tanzania. The park extends over 2500 square km of lakes, savanna, grasslands and woodlands, providing ideal habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. Elephants, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, lions, leopards and dozens of species of antelope are waiting for American tourists to discover them. The bird watching community has unparalleled opportunities to view large concentrations of water birds.
Silverback's Adventures offers guided itineraries to the hidden and mysterious Nyungwe Forest, whose biological diversity as earned a reputation as one of the priority sites of conservation in Africa. The forest has over 100 species of orchids, 1068 plant species and for the primate-lover--13 primate species, which is one quarter of Africa's total number of primate species, aside from the acclaimed mountain gorilla.
Upon their arrival at Kigali International Airport, travelers will be met by a Silverback's Adventures driver/guide and checked into your hotel. After settling in, there is an optional city tour around Kigali.
"Kigali is one of the safest and cleanest cities in all of Africa," Kayihura says.
