I did promise that this one was coming! The remainder of our time in Kigali was spent being unusually cosmopolitan. Memorials aside, there's not a huge amount to do in Kigali for tourists, but we were more than happy to enjoy its fantastic restaurants, cafes and art galleries. The four of us were also staying with Alice's cousin, meaning we had some home comforts in a home for a few days and a lovely host.

A few hours outside Kigali is Parc National Des Volcans, home to mountain gorillas, three international borders and some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen in East Africa. Sadly, gorilla trekking permits are notoriously difficult to get, but I did get the chance to track endemic golden monkeys through the forests at the foot of a volcano that spans Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. No SLR to take close ups, so you'll have to play a bit of "Is It A Tail Or A Branch?" too, but they're fantastic to watch and a joy to spend an hour with.
