At Virunga Ecotours we offer a tour in the farm of a local farmer to experience why Rwandans' predilection for milk is hardly a new fad. You will participate in cow milking, butter churning, and milk drinking in a local milk bar. You will also meet and interact with the local farmers to know more about cattle farming history in Rwanda.
The cost for this activity is always negotiated accordingly and we make sure that it benefits the local farmer.
