Travel

🦍 Tour company and stops are locked in!

Stops include the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for gorilla trekking, Queen Elizabeth National Park for a land and water safaris, and Lake Bunyonyi for rest and relaxation. Those adventures will be sandwiched between time in Kigali. Should be an amazing trip across Rwanda and Uganda. 🌍

Still have a long to-do list to prepare. Will keep ya posted. 

In the meantime, check out this cute baby gorilla pic created by ChatGPT. 😍

Countdown to flight day: 143! 🦍

Before trekking with gorillas, I’ll spend time in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, staying at the Hôtel des Mille Collines. This hotel became a refuge during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, a story depicted in the 2004 film Hotel Rwanda starring Don Cheadle.

I didn’t realize its historical significance when I booked but now feel inspired to embrace this history. I plan to visit the Kigali Genocide Museum to deepen my understanding.

Since the conflict, Rwanda has made remarkable strides toward peace and prosperity. I love that Kigali’s goals include “happy and healthy residents.” A city is its people, and that’s a goal worth celebrating!
