Rwanda Rising: 2017

Known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, Rwanda is a gorgeous country that is home to the rare mountain gorilla—as well as a devastating recent history of genocide. On this journey, we will experience all of Rwanda’s complexities with insiders and philanthropists who are at the forefront of building a bright new future.

What to Expect

On this five-day trip, which will be led by Indagare founder Melissa Biggs Bradley, we will learn about the conflicts that led to the mass murder of nearly a tenth of Rwanda’s residents, meet with activists who are helping to forge a hopeful future and trek to see the endangered gorillas in their mountain habitat.
