Overview
Rwanda, known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” is a vibrant and resilient country in East Africa, celebrated for its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and forward-looking society. Despite the deep scars of the 1994 genocide, Rwandans have cultivated a strong sense of unity and healing, exemplified through annual remembrance events. The people, known for their warmth and hospitality, maintain traditional values of respect, family, and community solidarity. Rwandan culture shines in its music, dance—especially the *Intore* dance—and unique artwork like *Imigongo* paintings. Kigali, the clean and green capital, reflects Rwanda’s dedication to environmental initiatives and innovation, including pioneering tech and digital projects. Tourism also thrives, with the country’s national parks drawing visitors to see rare mountain gorillas and other wildlife. Simple but nourishing, traditional dishes like *ugali*, cassava leaves, and banana beer (*Urwagwa*) are enjoyed in communal meals that underscore Rwandans’ connection to heritage. Through resilience and modernization, Rwanda beautifully merges its traditions with a dynamic vision for the future.
