Rwanda’s elegant capital radiates African charm. Previously tarnished by tragedy, Kigali has been passionately reinventing itself for the past 25 years. Clean, safe and wonderfully lush, it is now better known for excellent coffee, leading the tech revolution of East Africa, and as the gateway to gorilla trekking. Proud and progressive, Kigali is built on rolling tropical hills. High-rises house tech companies; creative start-ups; and cafes surrounded by dense forests, ripening fruits, and green valleys. Famous for the most sustainable practises in Africa, plastic bags are banned and water is lovingly conserved. The streets are filled with young students, well-dressed professionals and a sense of purpose. Taste some of the best coffee in the world, eat in one of the French-inspired eateries and visit the Kigali Museum and learn how they have grown out of their past. Wherever you go, enthusiastically welcoming people will eagerly greet you and stop for a chat and to tell you about their breath-taking country. With low crime, a vibrant dining scene and friendly locals, this is a city ready for a close-up experience.
