Pages of Appreciation

While in Kirehe, I stayed at East Gate Hotel, where I enjoyed warm hospitality throughout my three-day sojourn. Before departing, I felt compelled to express my appreciation with a small but meaningful gesture—a special gift for the receptionist who checked me in and took exceptional care of me during my stay.

The gift was a copy of The Akagera Expedition, a book that captures my unforgettable experiences in Akagera National Park. As I often say, good things are meant to be shared, and these memories are no exception.

If you’ve been following my chronicles lately, you’ll know that I’m currently on an ambitious journey across all thirty districts of Rwanda. As part of this grand tour of Remarkable Rwanda, I’ve been giving away books sponsored by supportive stakeholders who believe in the power of storytelling.

On that note, I’m deeply grateful to RichTech Printing House for making it possible to extend this token of appreciation to someone who exemplified outstanding customer service.

After leaving Kirehe, I embarked on an exhilarating ride to Kayonza, taking a scenic off-the-beaten-path route that added an extra layer of adventure to the journey. Unfortunately, the digital magazine where this tour was originally documented was hacked, resulting in the loss of content dating back to 2017.

While we’ve successfully retrieved all the files, the old website remains under reconstruction. In the meantime, I’ll be sharing my stories on afrikanzuri.com—a self-built platform that will continue to host my travel experiences across Rwanda and, after the conclusion of this project, other African destinations as well.
