Rwanda is a landlocked country in East Africa characterized by rolling hills, highland plateaus, volcanic mountains in the north, and numerous lakes and river valleys.
📍 Rwanda is a landlocked country located in East Africa, situated in the Great Lakes region near the equator. It is bordered by Uganda to the north, Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south, and Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west.
Rwanda’s terrain is predominantly mountainous and hilly, earning it the nickname “Land of a Thousand Hills.” The country features highlands, valleys, and lakes, including Lake Kivu along its western border. Its elevation gives it a relatively mild climate despite its equatorial location.
Rwanda’s position in the Great Lakes region has influenced its agriculture, settlement patterns, and cultural connections with neighboring countries.
