Rwanda is renowned for its gorillas, but the progressive capital has an allure of its own. Thanks to innovative artists and entrepreneurs, the city is finally emerging from the embers of its past.

A self-taught painter and mixed media expressionist, Emmanuel Nkuranga is co-founder and owner of Inema Arts Center in Kigali, Rwanda.

Bold, bright colors, intoxicating rhythms, architectural wonders and more, beckon from this country that is as committed to its arts and culture as it is to the people who make it so. Travelers win with plenty of options to enjoy it all.
