Yvon Ukwishaka is my name, and I am proud to call Musanze, located in the Northern Province of Rwanda, my hometown. With a population of almost a million and a half, Musanze is a bustling district, with over 90 percent of the people involved in agriculture. The community boasts of a unique natural feature, the Virunga National Park, which is situated north of the town. This magnificent park is home to some of the world's last remaining mountain gorillas and attracts tourists worldwide. Musanze offers plenty of options for dining out and nightlife to unwind after a hard day's work. You will find a rich variety of local cuisine and international dishes served in the many restaurants and cafes around the town. Additionally, plenty of ATMs to withdraw cash from ensure you have enough money during your stay.
