KigaliCity

Kigali sits across a series of rolling hills near the centre of Rwanda, and functions as the start and end point for essentially every visit to the country, whether the itinerary is built around gorilla trekking in the Virungas, chimp trekking in Nyungwe or game drives in Akagera. The city has earned a reputation as one of the cleanest and most orderly capitals in Africa, the result of deliberate policy choices including a nationwide ban on plastic bags and a monthly community clean-up morning observed across the country. At its centre, the Kigali Genocide Memorial holds the remains of more than 250,000 victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and presents the events with unflinching clarity — it is, for most visitors, the most important stop in the city and a necessary frame for understanding modern Rwanda. Beyond the memorial, Kigali’s growing food, coffee and contemporary art scene, centred on neighbourhoods like Kimihurura and Kacyiru, gives visitors a reason to spend more than a transit night before heading into the parks.
