Rwanda: The Don'ts of Visiting Rwanda
Rwanda is so much more than gorillas in the mist or the legacy of the genocide from 1994. It is one of the most incredible countries you can visit in the world, with engaging people, incredible nature, and a way of showing guests the best of their country. This is what tourists should not do when they visit Rwanda. From not bringing plastic bags, to not asking about what group a Rwandan belongs to there are some important tourists don'ts to know before you visit Rwanda.

Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love
Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.
Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Les 10 Plus Belles Villes Et Villages Du Rwanda
Les 10 plus belles villes et villages du Rwanda
Un endroit rempli de montagnes qui s'élèvent à l'horizon et de beaux lacs jonchant le paysage, il n'y a pas beaucoup à débattre sur la raison pour laquelle le Rwanda est populairement connu comme le pays des mille collines. La République du Rwanda, l'un des plus petits pays du continent africain, est un pays enclavé situé à quelques degrés au sud de l'équateur, bordé par l'Ouganda, la Tanzanie, le Burundi et la République démocratique du Congo. La capitale du Rwanda est Kigali, une ville qui sert de plaque tournante pour les affaires sociopolitiques et économiques du pays. Le climat du Rwanda est tempéré à subtropical, avec deux saisons des pluies et deux saisons sèches chaque année. Le Rwanda compte plus de 12,6 millions d'habitants sur une superficie de 26 338 km2, et est le pays d'Afrique continentale le plus densément peuplé.
Bonjour à tous, vous êtes les bienvenus pour nous rejoindre dans un voyage vers l'un des plus merveilleux pays d'Afrique de l'Est, le Rwanda. Dans cette vidéo, nous vous présentons le top 10 des plus belles villes du Rwanda Si vous êtes nouveau sur notre chaîne, nous aimerions que vous vous abonniez et que vous activiez votre notification afin d'être informé en premier, lorsque nous téléchargerons plus de contenu intéressant sur notre chaîne.
La plupart des villes et villages du Rwanda reflètent la culture, le colonialisme et le sens de la patrie. L'un des événements les plus emblématiques survenus dans ce pays est le tristement célèbre génocide du 7 avril 1994, qui a duré 100 jours et a plongé la nation entière dans le deuil et le désespoir. Mais à travers les années sombres, les décennies ont passé et un nouveau Rwanda a émergé, prêt à se reconstruire et à vivre au présent dans la paix, le progrès et l'unité. Voici le top 10 des plus belles villes et villages de cette nation autrefois en ruine, le Rwanda. Bien sûr, sans ordre particulier
10) Kibungo
Nous commençons cette liste avec Kibungo, pour une ville qui n'est pas si populaire, ou grande mais qui a pourtant la capacité d'attirer de nouveaux habitants et visiteurs, il est tout à fait mentionné que Kibungo est un endroit très étonnant à être au Rwanda. Kibungo est la capitale politique, administrative et commerciale du district de Ngoma. Son emplacement se trouve dans la partie sud-est du Rwanda, le long de la route principale de Kigali au Rwanda, à Nyakasanza, en Tanzanie. Kibungo est l'une des villes les plus importantes du Rwanda sur le plan commercial et économique. Elle abrite le campus principal de l'Institut d'agriculture, de technologie et d'éducation ainsi que l'hôpital de référence de Kibungo. Pour les expatriés.
09) Rwamagana
Une des villes les mieux notées du Sud du Rwanda par trip-advisor, Rwamagana est une très belle ville. Avec une population d'environ 50 250 habitants sur une superficie de 87 kilomètres carrés, elle se trouve à environ 50 km de Kigali, sur la route récemment rénovée menant à l'est vers la Tanzanie. Rwamagana abrite le musée d'art rwandais, et la magnifique arène de conférence Itare où se tiennent les conventions publiques et autres sommets administratifs du gouvernement. La ville se trouve principalement le long de deux routes, la route principale est-ouest, et un embranchement menant au sud. Rwamagana a quatre centres commerciaux importants avec un marché moderne et des services centraux dans les industries commerciales qui sont le centre Rwamagana, le centre Karenge, le centre Nyagasambu et le centre Rubona. L'une des principales activités économiques de cette ville est le lavage du café et les industries de services.
08) Cyangugu
Située sur la rive du lac, au bord de la toujours charmante rivière Rusizi, Cyangugu était autrefois considérée comme l'une des villes les plus prospères du Rwanda par les expatriés, cependant ces dernières années, la zone de la ville haute a plutôt beaucoup de bâtiments délabrés comme des vestiges de l'ère coloniale. En 2015, la ville avait une population d'environ 63 883 habitants. La meilleure partie de Cyangugu est la zone de la ville basse où le cadre du lac est charmant et il y a quelques bons hôtels à partir desquels explorer des destinations plus hors des sentiers battus comme les sources chaudes de Bugarama, la forêt de Cyamudongo et Nyungwe une destination touristique très populaire.

THE BEAUTY OF NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK
With over 280 bird and 13 primate species and spreading over 1000 square kilometres, Nyungwe National Park is one of the most acclaimed biodiversity rainforests in Africa. Notwithstanding the various attractions in the park, the Canopy Walkway remains one of the best places to experience as it offers a magnificent view of the canopy and it gives a great site for bird-watching.The Canopy walk is suspended at a height of about 60m above the ground and goes over giant trees. While the beauty of Nyungwe National Park remains unknown to many, efforts are being made to attract many tourists.
