"Central African Kaleidoscope" Rwanda by Maggus

Rwanda Travel Guide: 321 reviews and 1,356 photos

This picture is only a glimpse of rwandan landscape with thousands of densely populated and cultivated hills. At the edge of the east african rift a lot of continental movement, geothermical activity and natural treasures can be observed. Same goes for the people which have encountered hell in the last years and are now only at the start of reconciliation.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A natural gem and nearly undiscovered
Cons:Recent skirmishes, absolute poverty, relativey expensive

Last visit to Rwanda: Feb 2004
