2023 best destinations to visit
RWANDA
@Daniel Kihlgren – Founder Sextantio
A recent article by CNN announced 23 destinations that are best to visit in 2023.
These countries included Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania.
To my surprise and regret, Kenya was not included. However, Kenya most certainly belongs in the top countries to visit in any year now, and upcoming. Kenya offers travelers some of the most luxurious and modest accommodations, excitement, safari, mountains and beaches to name a few and certainly shouldn’t go unnoticed.
With that being said, we will stick with the three that were part of 23 best destinations to visit in 2023. Starting with Rwanda.

Akagera national Park
A two hour drive from Kigali.
Aside from the lions and the big 5, you can participate in many activities including walking with an attendant who trudges on a portion of the 120- km fence perimeter daily ensuring the fence is faultless running along the park’s exterior.
The 7 km walk begins at the park entrance with a guide escorting the guests into the hills. At the climax, and perched on a long narrow hilltop you will be rewarded with breathtaking landscapes from all angles. Guided by independent locals from the community, the walk lasts approximately two hours.
You can also be accompanied by guides for a cultural experience. Favorite to many visitors. participate in the milking of cows and custom beliefs that have lasted for generations. Spend time with makers of banana beer, honey with skilled locals.
Boat Trips especially if you’re a bird enthusiast, Night Safaris to experience the Nocturnal wildlife, mingle with informed management and staff behind the scenes and learn about conservation developments.
Rwanda a few degrees south of the equator bordering Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo is a must for travelers beginning or seasoned.
