A way more serious subject you simply have to visit while in Kigali is the Kigali Genocide Memorial Museum.
Back to basics
After about four weeks of staying in, sometimes luxury, hotels and lodges it was time to camp again! This time at a grassy area at the Mwanza Yacht Club. Proper campings are scarce in Tanzania. After that we drove to the border and camped at a German Fort. The next day we passed the border of Rwanda.
