Cyimbili Coffee Farm
Lake Kivu, Rwanda
June 28th, 2024
The Cyimbili Coffee Farm, in the far western region of Rwanda, is a place that is seldom visited.
After being fortunate enough to travel here in June of 2024, I found some of the most real people I have ever met or been around. No phones, no television, no fiction. A simple life of honor, passion, and self-fulfillment.

Landing in Kigali late at night, Professor Celestin Musekura and his entourage met me at the airport where we started the long 5-hour car ride through the night.
The roads were empty, windy, and mainly made up of sturdy dirt.
