Rwanda's fourth and youngest national park, Gishwati-Mukura, is a restoration story: two forest blocks brought back to life in the western highlands, still quiet and off the main circuit.
Gishwati-Mukura is less visited than the headline parks, which is part of its appeal. It is a place of regenerating forest, walks and birdlife, and it sits naturally near Lake Kivu in the west. It suits travelers who want something calmer and less crowded.
