Rwanda would have to rank as a pretty offbeat choice for a honeymoon or romantic holiday destination. That said, active outdoors-oriented couples might find it an ideal place to combine activities such as gorilla tracking, mountain hiking and game drives.
While Rwanda has a strong sense of adventure, it also has a high level of luxury. In that sense, it’s a true safari destination. Couples may cuddle up in wonderfully private lodges and camps located in stunning surroundings with fauna, unlike anything you’ll find stateside—not to mention Pinterest-worthy décor and superb cuisine—on this bucket-list excursion.
It’s extraordinarily green, and not just in terms of the hues you’re surrounded by. The country is a global leader in sustainable development, employing a variety of intelligent approaches to safeguarding the planet’s resources.

Eco safari accommodations, luxury lodges in the foothills of volcanoes, and lakeside retreats are all available for on a Rwanda honeymoon.
