Cycling is quickly overtaking football in Rwanda. The country is hosting several events: The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Africa Tour, the Tour of Rwanda and Kwita Izina Tour.
The organisers of the last event cleverly integrated the sport with the Festival of the Gorillas, also known as Kwita Izina. The festival draws thousands of foreign visitors and locals to witness the naming of newborn baby gorillas.
