Gatsibo: RDB develops Ngarama rock site

Posted on 12 January 2013 by peter

Ngarama rock

Ngarama rock

Gatsibo district administration with Rwanda development board (RDB) is to set up infrastructures around Ngarama rock site to improve tourism.

This follows the fact that no big tourism activity has been done in this place inspite of being a historical site.

With the foot prints of King Ruganzu and that of his dogs, Ngarama rock is located in Ngarama sector in Gatsibo district.

The mayor of Gatsibo district, Ambroise Ruboneza revealed to the reporter that with the help of RDB they plan to build a 24 kilometres road to Ngarama rock in two years time.

Ruboneza says that infrastructures like buildings and banks have been set up in Ngarama town to improve customer care towards the tourists.

Investors are asked to invest in building hotels in Ngarama town to accommodate visitors that come to Ngarama rock.

Some of the interesting features on the rock are footprints of King Ruganzu, foot prints of his dogs and the kings drum.

US lifts travel restrictions on Americans in Rwanda

Posted on 12 December 2012 by peter

Travel to northern parts of Rwanda and the Virunga park for gorillas “is no longer restricted” for Americans, the US Embassy in Kigali has announced in a message to American nationals.

The embassy late last month released a travel advisory urging Americans to avoid non-essential travel to areas bordering DRC – mainly Rubavu. The US embassy had wanted Americans to stay away from those areas following two negligible attacks by Rwandan FDLR rebels on Rwandan soil.

But in a December 06 statement, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) dismissed the concerns. “We would like to reassure visitors that it is business as usual at all our tourism destinations,” said Clare Akamanzi, acting CEO of RDB, in the statement.

Now, in a new development, the US Embassy says all is fine for its nationals to travel to any part of the country.

“The U.S. Embassy alerts U.S. citizens that travel by official U.S. citizen personnel to the Rubavu district, Volcanoes National Park, the town of Kinigi, or the area to the north and west of Kinigi that abuts Volcanoes National park is no longer restricted,” said the Embassy in a December 10 advisory.

“U.S. citizens are no longer advised to avoid the aforementioned areas.  There are currently no daytime travel restrictions in place for official U.S. citizens within Rwanda.”

Despite the conflict in eastern DRC that does not seem to go away for years, tourists have flocked to Rwanda year-in-year-out. The country received more than 680,000 visitors last year. A much bigger number is expected to be recorded by end of this year.

Rwanda dismisses US travel advisory over Congo crisis

Despite the crisis in eastern DR Congo and “two isolated skirmishes”, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) says Rwanda remains one of the safest places for tourists and all other travelers.

The agency has also reassured the business community that it is safe to travel to all parts of Rwanda. The situation in Eastern DRC has resulted in two isolated skirmishes on Rwandan territory which were rapidly contained and border security has been reinforced to prevent recurrence.

“We would like to reassure visitors that it is business as usual at all our tourism destinations,” said Clare Akamanzi, acting CEO of RDB, in a statement on Thursday (December 06).

“Travellers to Rwanda continue to enjoy the magnificent scenery, pleasant climate, rich culture and diverse wildlife in our national parks, including the rare mountain gorillas.”

The US embassy in Kigali released a travel advisory on Monday this week urging Americans to avoid non-essential travel to areas bordering DRC – mainly Rubavu. The US embassy wants Americans to stay away from those areas.

“Pending clarification of the situation, the U.S. Embassy has restricted travel of official Americans to Rubavu District, Volcanoes National Park, the town of Kinigi, and the area to the north and west of Kinigi that abuts Volcanoes National Park,” said the Embassy in a statement posted on its site.

All these singled places are some of Rwanda’s most visited sites by tourists because of the gorillas and the well developed hospitality industry. Rubavu, for example, is home to Hotel Serena.

Despite the conflict in eastern DRC that does not seem to go away for years, tourists have flocked to Rwanda year-in-year-out. The country received more than 680,000 visitors last year. A much bigger number is expected to be recorded by end of this year.

RDB’s Akamanzi noted that tourism has been successful over the past years and continues to be Rwanda’s number one foreign exchange earner.

“While ecotourism remains the key attraction for visitors coming to the land of thousand hills, we are working to increase conference and events tourism, a goal that will be facilitated by newly registered hotel investments such as Marriott, Radisson Blu and most recently Sheraton.”

Rwanda’s national carrier RwandAir, Serena Hotel and Thousand Hills Expedition have put together a discounted package for Nigerians planning to travel to Rwanda, in a deal announced Thursday November 15, 2012.

The promotion launched in Lagos, Nigeria, will provide an affordable travel package which is inclusive of what has been described as “out-of-this-world expedition experience and five-star accommodation” in Rwanda.

RwandAir, which now flies five times weekly Kigali-Lagos route in partnership with Serena Hotels, one of the largest hotel chains in East-Africa and Thousand Hills Expedition, leading tourism company in Rwanda, put together the exciting package.

For only US$1,350 per person, Nigerian travelers will get an all inclusive four-night package to experience the beautiful greenlands of Kigali and Gisenyi, a return flight ticket, tour services, meet and greet and return airport transfers, said the firms in a joint statement.

While explaining the travel package at a destination Rwanda promotion seminar for travel agencies in Lagos, RwandAir Nigeria Country Manager, Hafeez Balogun detailed the bouquet of the airline’s offerings which includes numerous discounted fares on all RwandAir destinations.

Balogun said: “RwandAir is one of the fastest growing airlines in the continent giving passengers special treat with young and reliable aircraft fleet.”

“The Lagos-Kigali route is serviced by the new Boeing 737-800NG, the very first on the African continent.”

Denise Benzinge-Omany, Sales & Marketing Manager Kigali Serena Hotel said: “we are focusing on Nigerian travelers not only to use Rwanda as transit point to their final destination, but also for the travelers to have a feel and experience the beautiful natural scenery that our country offers”.

Jacqui M. Sebageni representing Thousand Hills Expeditions at the seminar stated that the travel package is targeted at Nigerian travelers who desire a different kind of vacation from the ordinary as well as feel at home.

At the function, RwandAir also gave away one business class return ticket Lagos/Johannesburg via a raffle draw at the seminar. Olaoye Olubimpe Priscilla of Giovanni Travels and Tour was the lucky winner.

The latest promotion comes after President Paul Kagame completed a two-day high level visit to Nigeria last weekend. The President met Nigerian business leaders and gave a historic lecture at a function hosted by Nigerian Young Professionals.

Following President Kagame’s visit, Nigerian media have been abuzz with articles praising him and lambasting Nigerian politicians and other African leaders. On social networks, there is still a fierce debate about the state of affairs in Nigeria compared to Rwanda. Some have actually suggested that they would like to have a Kagame-like leader for Africa’s most populous country.

Posted on 13 July 2012 by peter

Amashyuza ni amazi aherereye mu Karere ka Rusizi mu Murenge wa Kabuye. Amashyuza akaba ari amazi ashyushye ava mu butaka, akaba ari ahantu abantu bakunze gusura cyane kubera imiterere y’ayo mazi.

Amazi bita  amashyuza kera yavuraga indwara y’ibinyoro

Nk’uko bitangazwa na bamwe mu baturage batuye hafi y’ayo mazi bita Amashyuza bavuga ko aya mazi uko yashyuhaga kera ubu atari ko ameze.

Abageze mu zabukuru bahaturiye bavuga ko kera yavuraga indwara y’ibinyoro ku bayogaga bayirwaye. Ubu hakaba hari gahunda yo kubyaza aya mazi umusaruro nka hamwe mu hantu nyaburanga hakunze gusurwa.

Aya mazi agizwe n’ibidendezi bigeze kuri bitatu, kimwe kinini cyane gifite ibice bibiri ndetse gifite n’aho ashokera agakomeza ariyo afite impande ngufi ariko hagati naho nta we uzi uko hareshya, ibindi bibiri byo bimeze nk’ibyobo binini cyane, ngo bakaba babyita udukono.

Amazi yo muri utu dukono afite aho atembera atoboye ubutaka, ariko kandi n’ubwo atemba ntabwo akama cyangwa ngo agabanuke.

Umukecuru Mukaruziga Athanasie mu kiganiro kirambuye  cye kuri uyu wa 11/7/2012 yatangaje ko kimwe ko aya mazi ahindura ibara uko ashatse, kuko nko mu minsi iri imbere muri nzeri ngo ahinduka umutuku.

Mu gihe cy’imvura bwo ngo ni bwo ashyuha cyane. Gusa aho aya mazi ari ubu ni aha gatatu kuko yagiye yimuka.

Avuga ko mbere yabanje inyuma y’umusozi  bwa kabiri yimukiye ku musozi hejuru, ubu aho ari akaba ari aha gatatu.

Yavuze ko nyirakuru yamubwiye ko kera ariya mazi yavuraga ibinyoro ku bantu babaga babirwaye iyo bajyaga kuyogamo.

Umukecuru Mukaruziga Athanasie avuga ko na nyirakuru yababwiraga ko yavutse agasanga ayo mazi ashyushye. Gusa ngo ikigaragara ni uko aya mazi agenda agabanuka ariko ntakame burundu, ikindi kandi ngo ni uko ubushyuhe bwayo bugenda bugabanuka.

Uyu mukecuru avuga ko nko mu myaka ya 1970 umuntu yashyiragamo iseri ry’ibitoki (inyamunyo) rigashya, cyangwa se bagashyiramo ibijumba bigashya.

Ikindi ngo ni uko n’umuntu uyozemo, iyo yishinze ubushyuhe bwayo ahasiga ubuzima cyane cyane iyo ananiwe kuko ngo aca abantu intege, hakaba ngo haraguye abantu benshi mu gihe cyo ha mbere.

Aya mazi y’amashyuza ngo nta kinyabuzima na kimwe mu byo mu mazi kibamo. Gusa kera ngo hajyaga habonekamo inzoka, ariko ubu nta zikibonekamo.

Ikindi ngo ni uko hari inuma zigurukira ku biti bikikije aya mazi, uko ikigurukiyeho hashira akanya ikaba irapfuye, ikagwa muri aya mazi.

Ibi ngo bikunze kubaho mu gihe cy’imvura. Gusa n’ubwo aya mazi nta we uzi aho aturuka, nta n’uzi uko areshya, ngo hasi muri nyina ni kure cyane.

Aya mazi y’amashyuza ngo inka zarayakundaga cyane kuko ngo araryohera, ameze nk’arimo umunyu.

Aya mazi y’amashyuza ubu aho ari harubakiwe, hakoze neza kuko harimo ubusitani n’utuzu abantu bashobora kwiyakiriramo (bingalo), abantu bakaba bahifotoreza ku bakoze ubukwe muri kariya gace, dore ko ari ahantu haringaniye nk’ikibuga cy’umupira ariko hanini.

Ikigamijwe nk’uko umwe mu bashinzwe kuharinda yabitangaje ni ukugira ngo barebe uko hasurwa, ubwitabire bw’abahasura, maze hazakurikireho kugena amafaranga abahasura bajya batanga nk’uko bigenda ku handi hantu hose hafite amateka nyaburanga mu Rwanda.

Rwanda : Burera, a district dripping with beauty

Posted on 05 June 2012 by peter


Burera, a district dripping with beauty 1

Mountain Muhabura as seen from a distance : It is one of the tourist attractions in Burera district

Burera district is divided into 17 sectors which are Bungwe, Butaro, Cyanika, Cyeru, Gahunga, Gatebe, Gitovu, Kagogo, Kinoni, Kinyababa, Kivuye, Nemba, Rugarama, Rugendabari, Ruhunde, Rusarabuge and Rwerere. It has 69 cells, 571 villages, 339,200 inhabitants and covers 644.5 square kilometers.

The district boarders the Republic of Uganda to the North, Gakenke and Rulindo districts to the South, Gicumbi district to the East and Musanze district in the West.

Burera has an agro bio climatic zone which is very productive. Its average altitude is 2100 meters above sea level.

On the infrastructure front, Burera District has a total of 268.6 Kilometers of road.  94 Kilometers are currently in good shape, 75.5 Kilometers are being rehabilitated and 89 Kilometers are still in a poor state.

Most bridges are being rehabilitated. This is a good sign o the tourism frontier because it eases access to the interior of the district.

Overall, Burera District has 35 nursery schools, 87 Primary schools, 42 Secondary schools. It has one hospital, 15 health centers and about 96% of the population has medical insurance.

Access to electricity is expanding and 540 homes, 12 trading centers and 27 schools have electricity.

 

 

Burera, a district dripping with beauty 2

The crystal clear waters of lake Burera, one of the twin lakes from which the district derives its name

 

As far as tourism in concerned, the district boasts of the Birunga National Park as well as Ndorwa and Buberuka hills which are all tourist attractions. Ruhondo and Burera lakes have been rehabilitated in a bid to attract more tourists.The two beautiful lakes are located at the base of volcano Muhabura and close to the border with Uganda. They are surrounded by steep hills and large waterfalls with a backdrop of the Virunga volcanic mountains.These twin lakes are great spots to be visited after watching the gorillas in the volcanoes because the lakes are close to the gorilla-tracking centre of Ruhengeri and used to be referred to as neglected gems but things have changed and Burera and Ruhondo are popular with tourists.

The lakes have deep blue waters sorrounded by steep hills and tall waterfalls with the outlines of the nearby Virunga Volcanoes provide a spectacular backdrop.

Burera and Ruhondo are separated by a 1km wide strip of land (thought to be an ancient lava flow from Mount Sabyinyo.

Scenery is breathtaking here as the shores of the lakes are heavily terraced and cultivated with crops and volcanoes loom ominously in the distance. A tour to this district full of unspeakable beauty will not disappoint.
