Gahini
A modest Rwandan town on the eastern shore of Lake Muhazi, Gahini sits on a hill with mountain views and a long history as a Church Missionary Society base — one of four sites the CMS selected in Rwanda, where it established a mission, hospital, and schools. The town remains the centre of one of the Episcopal Church of Rwanda's nine dioceses, and lies a manageable drive east of Kigali.
