Kigali & Cultural Circuit

Kigali & Cultural Circuit

Kigali positions Rwanda as East Africa’s cleanest and most efficient city gateway, with a strong meetings market and compelling cultural institutions.

Mountain gorilla numbers have increased from 680 to over 1,063 thanks to this model. Beyond gorillas, visitors can trek to the summit of Mount Bisoke for stunning crater lake views, visit the Dian Fossey Gorillas Fund research centre, and kayak on the beautiful twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo at the base of the volcanoes.
