Rwanda Wins The 2019 Luxperience Awards in Sydney, Australia
Rwanda, the land of a thousand hills has been ranked among the top Africa safari destinations to travel to in 2020 and among the top 30 globally by a ranking, Travel
Lemming which recognizes trending destinations. Travel Lemming is a
travel blog founded by Nate Hake, an American who has been travelling
the world full-time since 2016. The site’s mission is to help highlight
emerging and underappreciated destinations as a way to fight
over-tourism. The annual awards were published this week on the site
Travel Lemming which promotes emerging destinations around the world as a
solution to over-tourism. It is famous for being home to the mountain
gorillas that habit Volcanoes National Park Rwanda. Tourists have travelled to visit these mountain gorillas in the wild by booking gorilla trek safaris in Rwanda during their Africa tours. Rwanda has for long been one of the top bucket lists destinations visited by Africa safari tour travellers. While most people go there for Rwanda gorilla safaris, Rwanda chimpanzee safaris, Rwanda wildlife safari tours, Rwanda birding safaris, hiking safaris in Rwanda, and Rwanda city tours, there are lots of other cultural heritage sites and experiences that people haven’t explored.
Winners
were selected after voting by 30 of the most popular travel bloggers in
the industry, who collectively sport more than 12 million followers on
social media. Among the attributes that were listed by voters on why
Rwanda was an ideal destination is growing connectivity via the national
carrier RwandAir, safety and conservation efforts. “With the World
Economic Forum recently naming it the safest country in Africa and
RwandAir slated to open direct flights from JFK (New York) to Kigali,
2020 is the best year yet to travel to Rwanda. This East African pearl
is changing the African travel narrative in so many ways.
“It will be exciting to visit Rwanda’s Kigali to see its amazing transformation and to see the conservation efforts at its national parks,” said Amarachi Ekekwe, one of the judges and the travel blogger behind Travel with a Pen.
