Map of Rwanda
Exactly 24 hours after leaving Vienna, I touched down in Kigali. A couple of hours at Istanbul Airport and a very short nap at an Entebbe hotel broke up the lengthy trip.
Nobody would have guessed the Boeing B737-800 leaving Istanbul was Entebbe-bound. About 99% of all passengers on the 4.500km long journey were Europeans - strong evidence that Uganda is becoming a prime tourist destination in Eastern Africa. Very different was the flight Entebbe-Kigali. I was the only non-African on this tiny plane. But being a woman I fit right in: the others were attending the Conference on Women Entrepreneurship in Kigali, at the very expensive Serena Hotel - as they cheerfully shared with me.
