Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Ponto mais alto de Ruanda na cidade, eleva-se a 1.850 metros acima do nivel do mar e oferece vistas panoramicas dos tres distritos de Kigali. O cume abriga o Masaka Beach Hotel e um mastro gigante com a bandeira nacional de Ruanda.
Destaques: No topo, uma bandeira ruandesa gigante do tamanho de uma quadra de volei estala ao vento, visivel de quase qualquer lugar da cidade. Mutiroes semanais de limpeza nas trilhas da montanha transformaram o local em um dos pontos de caminhada urbana mais verdes da Africa Oriental.
