WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Inema Art Center
Inema Arts Center is an arts center and art gallery located in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. The center was founded in 2012 by two painters: Innocent Nkurunziza and Emmanuel Nkuranga.
2.
The site in Rwanda's capital city Kigali where ten Belgian UN peacekeepers were murdered by the Hutu extremists in order to provoke a withdrawal of the UN forces, which then cleared the way for the full scale of the Rwandan genocide to unfold.
3.
Nyamirambo Women’s Center (NWC), a Rwandan NGO, was launched at the end of 2007 by 18 Rwandese women living in Nyamirambo, Kigali. Together they created a project which aimed to address gender-based violence, gender inequality and discrimination. Today, NWC’s mission is to provide education and vocational training to women who do not have the means to pay for such training on their own, so that they can gain better opportunities for employment.
4.
Colorful car free zone Street, Kigali! Commonly known as the capital point of the city, Biryogo is known for the variety of cultures and foods.
5. Kigali City Market
The Kigali City Market is a great place to wonder through. Hey o some extent the upper levels are much like a mall with the ground floor having vendors of a various types including food and household items. Traders are engaging and don’t overly hassle visitors, taking photos is easy and to here is a wide range to see. A few places to eat and drink too. This is not a tourist spot so no real curios and so on, but fruit, tea, coffee, honey and so on for sale if that’s what you’re looking for. Prices were very reasonable and not much room for negotiation but also less pressure to buy. A great place to explore - no real need for a guide or a ‘local’ to accompany you as it’s safe, well light and has great security.

Incredible art, a sprinkling of history & whizzing around on scooters seeing cool sights - with a stop off for a refreshing drink along the way! Loved Shark’s energy and all that he shared with us. As first time travellers to Rwanda - with only a day in Kigali - this was the perfect way to explore just a little of what this city has to offer. Highly recommend!

Fantastic walking tour with Shark. He showed us so many different sides of Kigali and we loved using the moto taxis and drinking yummy ginger sugarcane juice. Highly recommend!

It’s value for money. You get a feel of the city.
And you can actually carry on with other activities afterwards. The best part is the moto ride! You should use those to go around everywhere actually

The tour is fast, and price for value is excellent. It’s a perfect tour to make if you’re new or if you don’t have enough time. We had this tour a day before we left Kigali.. it was perfect. Shark was so kind and full of positive energy.

Our excursion was called "Kigali City Walk". However, we discovered after the tour started that it was designed to be a moto (motorcycle taxi) tour, with very little walking. Because we went with children in our family, we were not able to take motos. Our guide hired two car taxis instead. At the end of the tour, we were surprised with a 50 USD charge for the taxis.

The places we visited were nice enough, but the guide frankly did not add much to the experience beyond planning the itinerary. She told us very little about the local history or culture.

I do not recommend this tour. Visitors would be better served by finding a short list of things to see in and near downtown Kigali and arranging their own transport.

Shark is a great guy with a foreigner and local perspective on Rwanda at the same time, since he lives in Kigali for 6 years already. Besides showing interesting places, he is happy to give tips on food, transport, recommends activities and tours in Rwanda. His company connects individual local people and gives them fair payment for the activities provided, therefore supporting the community. Around him you soon feel like changing out with a friend and not just as another costumer - I recommend! :)

I really enjoyed the tour. Shark is friendly and has many little anecdotes which make the tour enjoyable. I was travelling solo and this is a great way to discover the city and learn about its history.

One of the best experiences on my 4,5 months trip in Africa. Daniel is an authentic philanthropist, dedicated to helping the young in his Kibera ghetto community.

Shark is a very kind and helpful guide. He can tell you many things about Kigali and it's history.
We would have liked to go more into depth of every single spot. Like the learning more about the nyamirambo women's center.
