altitude: 1,567 m/ 5,141 ft
estimated population: 1,200,000
Rwanda’s Kigali is the sparklingly-clean and highly organised aviation hub of the Gorilla Highlands region, a city that few visitors expect to find in the centre of Africa. Smooth tarmac connects brand-new buildings and three national parks in three different directions: Akagera, Nyungwe and Volcanoes.
