Rwanda

Rwanda is a small, landlocked country of steep green hills terraced with tea plantations and banana groves, earning it the name Land of a Thousand Hills. Daily life moves at altitude — Kigali sits above 1,500 metres — and the air is cool even near the equator. The country has rebuilt its urban infrastructure with striking deliberateness since the 1990s.
