An overnight flight for an early morning arrival in Kigali Rwanda ?? as the country gears up for the 21st edition of #kwitaizina gorilla naming ceremony.
It’s all about the gorillas this week!
I’ve been lucky enough to attend on a number of occasions. It’s a world class event and I’m thrilled to be back again.
This week I’m recording a podcast episode. I’ll be asking media friends and conservation and tourism experts: What’s special about Kwita Izina?
Who’s invited? And what are my top travel tips?
After 15 years regular travel in and around Rwanda, I have plenty to share.
In Rwanda this week? Let’s meet!
Thank you and murakoze cyane
