Kigali in five emoji

What each emoji refers to

⛰️

Rwanda is called the land of a thousand hills, and the roads through the city go up and down all of them.

🦍

Mountain gorillas live in the volcanoes on the northern border, and the permit to see them costs well into four figures.

🧹

Umuganda is a morning of community work on the last Saturday of each month, and most things close for it.

☕

Coffee is grown by smallholders and washed at shared stations, which is what pushed the quality up.

🌿

Single-use plastic bags have been banned since 2008 and bags get confiscated at the airport.
