Rwanda is a country in central Africa whose geography is mainly dominated by mountains, hence the name 'a country of a thousand hills'. Despite the country having a lot of hills and mountains, Kigali city dwellers, remain left behind, when it comes to recreational hiking experiences.
This package offers participants an opportunity to experience at first hand a day to day lifestyle of Rwandans. whereas a walk along Nyabarongo river where different agricultural activities can be seen, birds singing around will be an added delight.
Mt. Kigali is the highest mountain (hill) in Kigali. The trail starts from Nyabarongo wetland (Ruliba clay factory) and finishing in Nyamirambo. It is a wonderful way to spend a few hours enjoying some fresh air, great views, and getting some rather vigorous exercise all in the heart of Kigali.

During the trek, I saw the villagers at work. We were able to greet each other and communicate a little. There were amazing views, delicious food and beer at the top! It was a lot of fun. Thank you for your wonderful Guide!

This little adventure was the perfect antidote to a super long plane ride. The hike is challenging but also refreshing.

The experience was quite exciting and fun. I had a nice time. The mountain hike was a bit demanding because it was my first time hiking but I was determined to reach the finish line. Also, the tour guide was encouraging and motivating me to keep going.

This was my first time hiking and I have to say, I was a little nervous. I couldn’t have done it without Serge. He let me stop when I needed to and always reminded me that I wouldn’t be completing the hike alone. I was really grateful to have Serge as my tour guide and I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kigali.

The tour in all was super duper amazing. The tour guide Serge was brilliant, great customer service. He has a lot of passion for the job and it showed in his ability to encourage me to finish what I would term the biggest “endurance test” I have taken so far. I recommend this tour if you find yourself in Kigali.

Every year I like to treat myself with a trip and adding this adventure was part of it. Wow! Kigali the beautiful! My guide Serge was an amazing hiking partner and since we had so much time together he answered all my questions and we had deep meaningful conversations.
I have to say though…the hike is not moderate, it’s strenuous light- or we’ll say moder-uous or stren-erate . Lol! A definite combination of the two.
Anyway, we trekked through a village, past rice plantations, and a red clay brick factory. When we reached the top, the views of the mountains and landscapes made me so in awe I kissed the ground. Mt. Kigali, Rwanda was so pretty I had to kiss her.
I definitely recommend this trek- but, keep in mind it’s not moderate.
As for the zip lining - it was okay. If you’re an adrenaline junkie it won’t excite you. It was not that high from the ground. It was fun though.
