Rwanda
Rwanda, known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," is a small, landlocked country in East Africa, characterized by breathtaking landscapes of mountains, savannah, and lakes. It has a dense population with a rich cultural heritage that includes ancient traditions and ceremonies. Rwanda's recent history has been marked by the tragic genocide of 1994, but since then, the country has made significant strides in economic recovery, social cohesion, and sustainable development. Today, Rwanda is known for its wildlife conservation efforts, particularly its successful gorilla protection programs. The name Rwanda is believed to be derived from the Kinyarwanda word "rwanda," which means "expansive," capturing the country's wide-ranging hills and valleys.
