About Rwanda

Rwanda, often referred to as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," is a small, landlocked country located in East-Central Africa, bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Known for its stunning landscapes of rolling hills, lush forests, and serene lakes, Rwanda is a country of remarkable natural beauty. Despite its tragic history, including the 1994 genocide that devastated the nation, Rwanda has made extraordinary strides in rebuilding and reconciliation, emerging as one of Africa's most stable and progressive countries. The capital city, Kigali, is a vibrant hub of culture, innovation, and cleanliness, often cited as one of the cleanest cities in Africa. Rwanda is also renowned for its efforts in environmental conservation, particularly its protection of the endangered mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, which attracts eco-tourists from around the world. With a strong focus on economic development, gender equality, and technological advancement, Rwanda continues to inspire as a model of resilience and transformation.
