Located in the heart of East Africa, the beautiful country of Rwanda is reinventing itself as one of the most interesting travel destinations for 2026. Whether you’re seeking mountain-adventure, wildlife encounters, lakeside serenity or cultural immersion, there are plenty of things to do in Rwanda that should go on your bucket list.

1. Gorilla trekking in the Virungas

One of Rwanda’s most iconic experiences takes place at Volcanoes National Park in northwest Rwanda, where you can trek to meet the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.The jungle setting and the dramatic backdrop of the Virunga Volcanoes makes this a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

2. Safari in Akagera National Park

If you love savannah scenes and classic African wildlife, venture into Akagera National Park in eastern Rwanda. Here you can track the “Big Five” (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalo) amidst mixture of woodlands, wetlands and lakes. It’s a fantastic complement to gorilla trekking, underscoring the diversity of things to do in Rwanda.

3. Explore Nyungwe Forest & canopy walk

For something different, head south to Nyungwe Forest National Park, Rwanda’s lush rainforest, where you can walk the canopy walkway high above the trees, observe chimpanzees, enjoy bird-watching and soak in nature.

4. Lakeside relaxation at Lake Kivu

After active treks and safari drives, unwind at the peaceful Lake Kivu on Rwanda’s western border. The tranquil waters, scenic islands and relaxed towns like Gisenyi (and Kibuye) are perfect for boat rides, beach rest or gentle exploration.

5. Culture, city life and history in Kigali

No trip to Rwanda is complete without time in its vibrant capital, Kigali. Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial for a moving insight into Rwanda’s past.Then explore markets, cafes, art-spaces and the friendly street hustle of a city on the rise.

6. Tea- and coffee-estate visits & off-beat trails

Beyond the big-ticket wildlife, Rwanda offers terrain for hikes, tea and coffee tours, and lesser-known natural spots. For instance, hillside coffee farms near Kigali or tea plantations in the highlands offer great experiences.

Why Rwanda is a smart travel choice for 2026

Rwanda is easy to get around, safe, and compact — meaning you can combine multiple experiences in one trip.Moreover, the country’s commitment to responsible tourism and conservation means your money helps the destination and local communities.

A quick side note: Things to do in South Africa

If you’re comparing travel options, the neighbouring region also opens up to many things to do in South Africa — from safari in Kruger, Cape Town’s scenery, wine regions, and the Garden Route. While very different in scale and flavour, South Africa offers a wide spectrum of travel styles.

Introduction: SDGs Are Closer Than You Think

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are often seen as global policies far removed from daily life. But the truth is, everyday actions have the power to drive measurable impact. From the way we commute to how we shop, eat, and work, every decision can either support or hinder progress toward a sustainable, equitable world.

Platforms like WazoPlus are helping bridge this gap by turning knowledge into actionable steps that anyone can implement.

Step 1: Sustainable Consumption & Energy

Practical Actions:

• Reduce energy use at home: turn off lights and unplug devices when not in use. (SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy).
• Choose locally-produced goods and ethical brands to reduce carbon footprint. (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production).
• Support circular economy initiatives: recycle, upcycle, and donate unused items.

Why it matters: Small changes in consumption patterns collectively reduce emissions, create demand for sustainable products, and encourage corporate responsibility.

Step 2: Safe & Conscious Transport

Practical Actions:

• Walk, cycle, or use public transport whenever possible. (SDG 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities)
• Support safe driving practices: advocate for licensed drivers and vehicle safety checks. (SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing)
• Carpool or share rides to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.

Why it matters: Safer, greener transportation prevents accidents, reduces environmental impact, and promotes healthier communities.

Step 3: Ethical Work & Fair Practices

Practical Actions:

• Treat domestic workers, colleagues, and service providers with fairness and respect. (SDG 5: Gender Equality + SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth)
• Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
• Volunteer or mentor in your community to transfer skills and knowledge.

Why it matters: Fair treatment, inclusion, and support for local enterprise drive community resilience and economic growth.

Step 4: Community Engagement & Advocacy

Practical Actions:

• Participate in community cleanups or sustainability initiatives. (SDG 13: Climate Action + SDG 11)
• Advocate for local policies that protect health, education, and equality.
• Share knowledge online: amplify actionable content like WazoPlus guides.(Read them if not familiar with them in the LTWE Newsletter.)

Why it matters: Informed, engaged citizens become drivers of systemic change, turning abstract goals into tangible results.

Case Study: Rwanda in Action

In Rwanda, local communities are already leading by example:

• Neighborhood recycling programs reduce waste while creating jobs.
• Youth-led tech startups teach sustainable practices through apps and workshops.
• Community transport cooperatives ensure safer, greener, and affordable mobility.

These are real-world applications of the SDGs, showing that local action drives global impact.

Looking Ahead: Make the SDGs Your Daily Practice

Every choice you make from what you buy, how you move, how you work, and how you engage,has the potential to contribute to a sustainable, equitable future. By turning insight into action, citizens everywhere can make SDGs not just a policy framework, but a lived reality.

Call to Action:

Start today: pick one small action from this guide and implement it this week. 

Share your results with your community and inspire others.

Remember: Global change starts locally. Every empowered citizen is a spark.
