A short but forceful waterfall on the Kagera River at the border crossing between Rwanda and Tanzania. The bridge above the falls carries deep historical weight as a crossing point during colonial conquest and the 1994 refugee exodus. Travelers passing between the two countries stop for the views over the churning brown water.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
