Rwanda: A Travel Story

This is a very short chronicle of my recent 6 day media trip to Rwanda, courtesy RwandAir & the Rwandan Development Board (RDB), in which I went around the country and learned a lot about Rwandan Culture and Tourism.

Rwanda has come a long way from its history of Genocide, turning what could have been the most crippling part of its' story into a triumphant one, with developments in Agriculture, Infrastructure, and of course, Tourism, which has become a big revenue source for the nation. It's impossible to show the true beauty of Rwanda, I hope my small story encourages you to visit and see more.

Activities (In no particular order)
Umuganda (Community Service - Yes, I helped clear roads and build a house).
King's Palace Museum & the Ethnographic Museum,
Musanze Caves
Kivu
'Kwitizina' (naming ceremony) of almost 20 newborn Mountain Gorillas
Genocide Memorial Center

All photos and videos were shot with my Nokia Lumia 1520, edited separately with Nokia Storyteller, and merged with Windows Movie Maker.
