Kigali, Rwanda

Before heading North for the weekend, we spent a few hours in the city of Kigali and were all quite surprised (actually shocked) by its beauty and apparent booming economy. The city of Kigali, the famous host of Hotel Rwanda, is clean, green, radiant and one of the nicest cities in Africa I have visited. The city spans over gorgeous rolling green hills filled with modern well sized houses and tall buildings . Of course, slums still exist but for the most part the city is well kept and quite impressive. The locals claim that Kigali has changed drastically because of the strong supportive government, which recently implemented a community service day once a month to clean up the city and unite the community.
 
Rwanda's turbulent history was displayed at the Genocide Museum, which was absolutely heartbreaking but amazing.
