Mystical Buhanga Hill to be turned into eco-park

MUSANZE– Buhanga Hill, known locally as Egihondohondo, played a major role in the coronation of Rwanda’s Mwamis’ (kings). The lake, in which the king had to bathe in before his coronation, called ‘Iriba rya Gihanga’ can still be found in the12 hectare forest on the hill. The forest is also a popular bird watching area. As a result of the cultural significance of the area, Rwanda Development Board (RDB) is going to upgrade the site.
