The focus of the tour is environmental, economic and cultural sustainability. It will include a visit to three national parks with opportunities to climb a volcano, track colobus monkeys and experience a large game photo safari of giraffes, rhinos and elephants. Participants will discover firsthand about reconciliation efforts following the 1994 genocide and visit rural and urban cooperatives and talk with successful entrepreneurs. Travelers will stay with Rwandan families while in Kigali, the capital city.
Registration is $3,316 plus airfare and includes all meals, lodging, entrance fees, gratuities, in-country transportation and one course credit.
