Rwanda is a land of hills and it’s difficult to grasp just how much that is true until you arrive here. There is literally no flat land here, one hill rolls into another ad infinitum. There are no straight roads either – they wind around the curved slopes of these hills – and going from point A to B is almost never as direct as it seems it should be.
Along these roads your find the people of this country and the activity of Rwanda. Up and down they walk, sometimes with great bundles on their heads or in tow – be it firewood, water, fruit, or construction supplies - they port it all by foot for miles. In a country where even a bike is a luxury, it is astonishing to see the things they carry.
