Southern Province travel guide
Rwanda's Southern Province remains best known for its lush mountainous rainforest, a national park hailed for its well-preserved state and biodiversity. Besides hiking the park's verdant trails, things to do in the Southern Province include visits to a number of museums that showcase the country's heritage--most notably in the cities of Nyanza and Huye. The latter boasts the status of Rwanda's intellectual hub, known for its prominent university and offering the most variety in terms of dining and entertainment. Nature-lovers can opt for a variety of trekking tours, spotting an abundance of birds, monkeys, and other animals along the way.
