Mulindi is an important city in Rwanda's Northern Province, adjacent to the Ugandan border and about 150 kilometers from the capital, Kigali. As a trade hub connecting Rwanda with its East African neighbors, the city is known for its vibrant cross-border business and agricultural economy.
Mulindi is situated in the volcanic hills and is surrounded by lush tea plantations and banana plantations. The climate is tropical and highland, with an average annual temperature of about 20°C and abundant rainfall during the rainy season (March-May and October-November), making it suitable for agriculture.
Tea is the core economic pillar of Mulindi. The surrounding mountains are dotted with high-quality tea plantations, and its black tea is exported to Europe and many other places. In addition, cross-border trade, animal husbandry and handicraft processing are also important sources of income for local residents.
The population is predominantly Nyarwanda, the main ethnic group in Rwanda, and the languages spoken are Rwandan and French. The city retains cultural features such as traditional dances and weaving crafts, and the weekly open-air market is an important window to experience local life.
Mulindi is connected to the Kigali and Uganda borders via the RN14 highway. Visitors can explore the nearby Mujinga Volcanoes National Park, observe the endangered mountain gorillas or experience an eco-tourism program in the tea plantations.
