Rwanda - Land of 1000 hills

Rwanda greatly recovered from the 1994 genocide and is now a premier ecotourism destination. In 2011, we drove a rental Landcruiser through Uganda and Rwanda. In Rwanda, I took images of the endangered mountain gorilla's, a child orphanage (where we stayed overnight in the teacher’s home), the lake Kivu scenery and tea plantations. January 2011
