Rwanda is a landlocked country located in East Africa, known for its stunning landscapes, including mountains and savannahs. The capital city is Kigali, which serves as the political and economic center of the nation. Rwanda is often referred to as the "Land of a Thousand Hills" due to its hilly terrain. The country has a population of approximately 13 million people and is recognized for its efforts in conservation, particularly with the endangered mountain gorillas found in the Virunga Mountains. Rwanda has made significant strides in development and stability since the tragic events of the 1994 genocide.
