Enjoy a pickup from your hotel or apartment in Kigali at 7:00 am and set off with your English or French-speaking guide for a half-day adventure through the “Land of a Thousand Hills.” Get a first-hand taste of everyday life in Rwanda, with the option of using public transport like a local or traveling by private vehicle, and learn a little about the city’s landscape and culture along the way.
Start with a walk along the Nyabarongo River, passing farmland and agricultural activities while birds sing around you. Continue through a neighboring community, greeting locals and seeing daily life up close, before beginning the hike up Mount Kigali. Stop at your leisure to catch your breath, take photos, and enjoy views over the city and surrounding hills.
Once you reach the top, choose one activity to enjoy, such as zip lining, archery, a horse ride, or a squad bike. Take your final photos, refresh yourself with bottled water, soda, coffee, or tea, and relax at Fazenda Sengha, where the tour ends.
From there, you can return to your hotel, or, if you still have energy, take a walk home through the vibrant Nyamirambo neighborhood and visit the Nyamirambo Women’s Center. Your guide will drop you at your hotel or the airport, as long as your flight is on the same day the tour ends.
