Things to do in Kigali, Kigali Province: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

February 21, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Inhabited since the 11th-century, what is now Kigali has been the home of Twas, Tutsis and Hutus. The city sits on a series of verdant ridges and lush valleys, and has a Muslim Quarter and a bustling market. Rwanda's capital is the site of battles that left over a million, mostly Tutsi and moderate Hutus, dead. Kigali Memorial Centre is a permanent memorial to 1994's Genocide, built on a mass grave where 250,000 are buried. Kigali City Tour Bus offers an excellent introduction to this now safe, friendly city.

This is perhaps one of the most breath-taking wildlife experiences on earth!!! You get so close to these awesome giant primates. You stare at each other blankly not knowing who to break the long silence first. Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. These massive primates are extremely rare, with less than 1000 living today. It's been described as the must do activity for 2019 best places to visit and we can say, it really lives to its name. Note: Gorilla permits is not included in this package( you need to buy permits beforehand) just transport

Inclusions: Lunch, Bottled water, Private transportation, Snacks

Exclusions: Gratuities, Gorilla Permit $1500

We had an absolutely amazing time on our two-day tour with Kawira! Iddy was a fantastic guide, extremely friendly and knowledgeable and lots of good conversation along the way. Ian went above and beyond to organize our tour as well as help us organize other parts of our vacation. Nyungwe Forest is just stunningly beautiful and is a must-visit for a trip to Rwanda. I can't recommend Kawira enough - great tour and lovely people!

We have booked 2 days Nyungwe National park with Excellent African safaris and we enjoyed our tour. Our guide picked up from Kigali in the morning after breakfast and he transferred us to Nyungwe National Park. We checked in at Nyungwe Top View Hotel then we went to Canopy walk way in the afternoon. The following day , we enjoyed to see Chimpanzee and Colobus monkeys. After we went to waterfalls in Kamiranzovu before coming back to Kigali. We appreciated to see chimps and monkeys as well as Canopy walk way. We highly recommend Excellent African safaris if you want a tour to Nyungwe National park.

Tea was introduced in Rwanda in 1952 and is now one of the country’s largest exports. The fertile volcanic soil and temperate climate make for perfect tea growing conditions. The majority of tea is cultivated on large plantations, with a small contribution from tea cooperatives and private growers. Tea plants can be seen covering the rolling hills, their rich green a striking contrast to the blue skies, dirt roads and sunshine.
