Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton shares pictures from his vacation in Rwanda

Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula One champion, has not had the ideal start to the season this time around. He is presently sixth in the Formula One standings. The  British Driver is now taking a special vacation in Africa to revitalise himself. Hamilton, 37, first visited Namibia and is now in Rwanda, where he is participating in some really interesting activities.

The Mercedes racer took to Instagram to post some photos from his vacation. He was welcomed with some music from the Rwandan people. Hamilton hiked up on a volcano where he saw some Gorillas and posted their videos online.

He captioned the post: "How does one describe such an experience that leaves you so speechless? My second stop was Rwanda. We were welcomed with smiles and music from the beautiful Rwandan people. This trip really showed me how diverse and rich in culture it is here.

"We hiked up through beautiful green fields where children would sing to us and up a volcano where we found Gorillas. What a sight it was to see them in their natural habitat relaxed and protected by the community around them.

"This is where they should be, in their own homes free to live their lives in peace. It was a profound and truly moving experience. I’m in love with this country. Thank you for having us, I can’t wait to come back."
