Kigali

Kigali, Rwanda – 2017. After completing a two week Habitat for Humanity Global Village Build in Zambia I traveled to Kigali, Rwanda so that I could drive to Uganda to do a Mountain Gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. I spent a couple of days in Kigali and did some touring around the city. These photos are general street scenes in and around Kigali.

The city is very hilly and this shows the smog that was prevalent during the time I was there.
