The city of Kigali has truly changed since the dreadful days of the Rwandan genocide.
There are now lively marketplaces and street vendors that smell of spices where once there were murderous gangs and death patrols.
The dilapidated barrios now exude the vitality of daily activity, and the emergence of gleaming steel towers on the horizon is only another indication of the influx of foreign investment in this region.
The stirring Genocide Memorial and the opulent presidential palace are two sights you must see.
Apart from that, enjoying the newly discovered national confidence, buying Rwandan goods in the bazaars, and chugging cool drinks in the rowdy nightclubs are all that remain.
