Left Kigali today after five days of some nice laziness. We are renting a humongous Toyota Landcruiser 4x4, which will take us to all parts of Rwanda and some of Uganda as well.
After a nice drive through the countryside (hills, hills, hills...) we arrived in Butare, where Niels, another friendly Flemish dude, resides and who was so nice to give us a place to stay for the night.

After a quick hello we drove on to Nyungwe National Park, leaving the patchwork of little crop fields and moving into the stupefying beauty of the rainforest. We did not have all day but were able to spend an hour or two in the damp, hardly penetrable nature (but the tarmac road helps). We spotted a couple of timid monkey colonies and then headed back to Butare.
We shifted our plans a bit, which means that Gitarama is next on our list tomorrow. This weekend, we'll be happy campers in Akagera National Park and after that we're off to Uganda!
