A Pensive Moment

Rusumo Falls, Lake Bulera

A lovely drive from Musanze along the shores of Lake Bulera brings one to Rusomo Falls. The following photos are from that drive along the shores and a merged photo of the upper part of the Falls. The lower part can only be seen from the lake or a by a different access route.
