A Little Geography


Check out the map. I have been as far south as past Butare (about 2km from the border of Burundi)
- the large lake to the west; seems its now a top-end tourist attraction at both the top and bottom ends of the lake. At the top, its a great place to enter into Gorilla country, which is just inside the border from the Congo; at the bottom of the lake, there are 3-4 post 5* exclusive resorts, where the jet-setters from Europe and Asia come.
- the smattering of lakes to the far east, near Tanzania. Supposed to be the best fishing on the continent.
- the city that is Kigali. Not at all what you would expect, given the genocide of 1994. But I assure you its a thriving city, with a lot of very good going for it.
