First Impressions of RWANDA 🇷🇼 Surprised on our first day in Kigali 😮

Want to encourage this channel directly? www.buymeacoffee.com/backpack... (thank you! 😊)
In this Rwanda travel vlog, we explored the amazing capital city of Kigali. We visited many iconic places like the Genocide Memorial, the Milles Collines hotel which was featured in the movie Hotel Rwanda (2004) and also walked around the busy city centre. We got ourselves an Airtel sim card, went to the Kigali city market and Imbuga City Walk which is a car free zone. We also visited the amazing Biryogo Food Street where it felt a lot like South East Asia.

Hotel Rwanda movie is banned in Rwanda due its false scenario, and there are other movies you can watch on YT, that speak and show what truly happened.

[@TheBackpacksters]

Oh we did not know that. Thanks for telling this! Can you tell us why its banned?

[@user-tf1lb4hf3l]

And the movie was made in south Africa not even in Rwanda

[@souriante_kdrama]

@@TheBackpacksters It's okay. It's banned because one of the actors (If I am not mistaken, (it's Rusesabagina) did contribute to the genocide of Tusti in 1994; they found it later. And since he played with some marvel players, and they defended him saying he is innocent. It causes contravesial and they banned the movies.
