Kigali city day

The Genocide Memorial, a Nyamirambo walk, a coffee roastery and the craft market — a day with a driver who knows the city.

Destination

A full day in the capital with a driver-guide, paced so you see the city rather than the inside of a car.

How it runs

Morning at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, then Kandt House or the Rwanda Art Museum. Lunch in Nyamirambo followed by a walk through the old quarter, an afternoon coffee at a roastery, and the Caplaki craft market before you are dropped at your hotel. Add Kigali Cultural Village for Intore dance if you have the afternoon.

What we handle

The car and driver for the day, museum timings, and a route that avoids the worst of the traffic. This is also the right day to add on either side of a safari.

The vehicle

This trip runs in the Toyota RAV4.

The one people ask for by name. Light, economical and easy to park in the city, yet capable enough for the hills — a favourite for self-drive couples doing Kigali, Lake Kivu and the northern parks on tarmac. Fourth-generation cars, automatic, all-wheel drive.

Good to know

Good to know before you book a trip

Can you arrange permits and lodges too?

Yes. We book gorilla and chimp permits, park fees and lodges at the operator rate, so the car, the permit and the room arrive as one written quote.

How do I pay, and how much to reserve?

30% holds the vehicle and lets us buy permits the same day. Pay by card, mobile money or bank transfer. No payment is taken online through the site.

Can I take a self-drive car into the national parks?

Volcanoes, Nyungwe and Lake Kivu are fine for self-drive in any of our 4x4s. For Akagera game drives we provide our own safari Land Cruiser with a driver-guide, which is what the park tracks and the sightings deserve — ask us before planning a self-drive game drive.

Are permits and park fees included in tour prices?

Tour prices are per person and include the permit or park fee, the vehicle with a driver-guide and the nights shown. Meals, tips and international flights are not included. We list every line on the written quote.

More trips

Pair it with another park.

The same car and driver-guide carry you across the whole route — most itineraries combine two parks with a night on Lake Kivu between.
