It's been about 6 months since my press trip to Rwanda. Looking back, I still feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to hop aboard Ethiopian Airlines and jet off to eastern Africa for a week.
The jetlag was rough, and we had a tiring itinerary, but the sense of adventure was high, and I shared the journey with friendly, talented writers and photographers.
Below is a selection of my favorite posts and photos from the trip:
- The 3-Day Journey to Rwanda on Ethiopian Airlines
- Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park
- Photo Essay: The Mountain Gorillas of Rwanda
- Remembering the 1994 Tutsi Genocide
- Cruising Lake Kivu by Speedboat
- Photo Essay: Batwa Village in Rwanda

Scheduling Update
When I introduced Friday Flashbacks a year and a half ago, my goal was to give new readers easy access to my previous travel experiences. As I've been traveling less frequently since then, I'm all caught up!
The weekly videos will be now be published on Fridays instead of Saturdays.

Sofia says
A very close friend of mine just spent the last year in Rwanda.
The stories she tells are amazing, many of them are really sad but there is always a lot of hope shinig through.
They seem like a beautiful, loving and forgiving people.

Hey Sofia, in my short time, I certainly had the impression that Rwandans are doing their best to build a stronger country, without forgetting their past.
Arun says
Just read through your Gorilla Trek story and the photo essay and now looking through more archives. It seems like a great experience seeing them in the wild. The photos are beautiful. Are they used to humans?
Dave says
Arun, thanks for checking out my Rwanda experiences. Yes, the Gorillas have become familiar with humans given the amount of time researchers and tourists have been visiting them.
