Almost Paradise

This country is unbelievably beautiful. If you manage to abstract from Rwanda's poverty that's everywhere, you believe yourself in paradise. The pictures will do a better job than my description...

Lake Kivu,
seen from somewhere between Kamembe and Cyangugu.
The far side is Congo.

Tea gardens near Gisuma.
Tea (and coffee) is grown even on the steepest slopes.

Nyungwe Forest, still covering
a few hundred of Rwanda's "Thousand Hills"
