Rwanda - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel in Rwanda due to an outbreak of Marburg Virus Disease. Read the entire Travel Advisory for additional information on travel to Rwanda.

Rwanda, a landlocked East African nation, is often called the "Land of a Thousand Hills" due to its distinctive topography. Its landscape is dominated by highlands, with the highest point being Mount Karisimbi in the Virunga Mountains. The country's terrain gradually descends from the west to the east, transitioning from volcanic mountains and forested highlands to rolling hills and savanna plains. The Akagera River forms the eastern border and flows into a series of lakes, creating a unique wetland ecosystem. Despite its small size, Rwanda's diverse geography encompasses various climatic zones, from temperate highlands to tropical lowlands, supporting a variety of flora and fauna.
