• 5Amazing City tour

  Our first time for my husband and I in Kigali and were pleasantly surprised how clean the streets were. We had a city tour with Iriza tours and safaris.Our guide Libère was very friendly,patient,knowledgable and answered all our questions.He was our designated 'cameraman'😊 and negotiator at the market. The memorial park was the saddest part. All in all,i would reccomend Iriza tours and safaris and Libère as a guide

About Kigali

Kigali is Rwanda's capital, a tidy city on green hills in the middle of the country, with memorials, craft markets and routes to gorilla country.

Kigali spreads across several hills in the heart of Rwanda, at about 1,500 metres, so the air is mild all year. The Kigali Genocide Memorial tells the story of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and honours those buried there. The Kandt House Museum holds natural history displays in the house of the German colonial resident Richard Kandt, and the Inema Arts Centre shows contemporary Rwandan art.
