The Rwandan people are very friendly people and resilient despite their dark past of the genocide against the Tutsi that devastated the nation in 1994, claiming more than a million lives. 

Today the locals have coined Rwanda, as the land of a thousand hills and a million smiles in a spirit to transcend their tragedy and rebuild a new Rwanda. Today Rwandans have amazingly reconciled and healed from the painful past and they are ready to serve you from the air hostess, room service attendant to the local tour guide.
