What's Flying RwandAir and the Country Rwanda Like?

Last week, I flew on RwandAir A330-300 to Rwanda. Find out from my video what flying RwandAir is like? The RwandAir A330 has 3 classes; business, premium economy and economy class. During my flight, I checked out the meals, services and seats on RwandAir.
Kigali International Airport has a tabletop runway over 5,000 ft above sea level. We had low visibility with less than 1km on landing in the morning.
After landing, I travelled to my hotel at the One & Only Gorilla’s Nest. It is one of the best luxury accommodations in Rwanda. The next morning, I hiked in the Volcanoes national park to see gorillas. It was a unique opportunity to watch gorillas from a close distance. Rwanda is one of only three countries in Africa where you can see gorillas.
Finally, I took an August 109 helicopter of Akagera Aviation back to Kigali Airport. During the helicopter flight, I saw the many hills of Rwanda. I departed Rwanda on RwandAir Dash8-Q400 to Nairobi. Next week, I will be flying a 46 year old B727 classic in Kenya.

Amazing to see Rwanda bounce back from their previous history of conflict. I love seeing this side of Africa which is under reported to the rest of the world.

Hi Sam, of all my flying experience all over the world, Rwandair gave me the treatment of a king, will never forget. It may be considered normal service but i really felt pampered. This is the story. Coming from Mauritius through Jo'burg i unfortunately missed my connecting flight from Kigali enroute Abuja, NIGERIA. With little explanation it didn't take long officials took me to immigration desk and was asked if i would like to stay a day or two. I went into town checked into hotel+ feeding free, I could actually afford anyway. Don't ask me because I did good things in town. Also learned about 'ubumuntu' humanity and rebirth of the country after the unfortunate genocide. The second day i returned to airport and flew through Addis back home. I remember one Assia of Rwandair who did all the arrangements. It was so so nice. I will go back someday In Shaa Allah. Kudos Rwandair for flying the African flag and for being so great.

[@MadeiraAirport]

Rwanda is a prosperous, safe, well-governed & modern nation. And also one of cleanest countries in the world. It has a cool climate & is the Switzerland of Africa. But only 2% of the population is Moslm. 94% of the population is Christian. About time Rwanda took in lots of Moslm refugees. Let the Moslm rafoojees enjoy the prosperity of the most successful nation in Africa. Let those Afghans, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Syrians, Libyans, Yemenis, Moroccans, Algerians, Somalis, Sudanese, Pulustinians & Iraqis turn Rwanda into another Sweden.
