  • 5Wonderful set of memories

    I had a wonderful overall experience with Afri Safaris - from booking to confirmation, clear and prompt updates before the actual trip, pick up and of course the safari as such. Elysee was my guide (and driver) for the day. He is very pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. I must appreciate Afri Safaris for their flexibility in accommodating my interests. I'm a birder and made a request for a little extra focus on birding along with mammals of course. I was assured that this could be done and I'm happy that they kept their word. It was a wonderful birding experience as well. The safari vehicle was very comfortable and the pop up roof was perfect for birding in addition to spotting mammals. The lunch inside the park was delicious. Overall, I had a wonderful experience thanks to Afri Safaris and Elysee. I would highly recommend them to anyone who values an all round safari experience.

  • 5Successful day trip to Akagera

    My sister and I visited Akagera National Park and had an amazing time. Our guide Bosco was very knowledgeable about the park and its animals and did an excellent job keeping us comfortable all day. We saw elephants, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, and many other species during our trip through the park.

  • 5Exceeded far beyond expectations.

    Unbelievable experience. Elysee was an awesome guide and driver. We saw four of the big five in just one day. Elysee was informative and I leaned a lot from him. Pickup was timely, we did get back a bit late but was worth it as we were held up by a herd of elephants. More than I expected, great value.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Kigali: Kigali Genocide Memorial, Volcanoes National Park.
