Walk Kigali with a local guide past Inema Art Center, markets, and downtown, with optional lake or hills.
“Gloria was amazing. She had a host of knowledge about Rwanda, and very welcoming and friendly. She communicated well and made me feel right at home. I definitely recommend her. I saw sights that I would have missed if I were alone - got a flavour of local culture.”

Kigali village, coffee and banana beer, plus drumming and local food. Choose a home-host, agro, or Mount Jali hike track.
“Serge was a great guide, but I think it's overpriced for what's included. However, I'd still recommend it, the drumming lesson was definitely a highlight of my trip.”
One day from Kigali to Nyungwe National Park for rainforest walks, a canopy suspension bridge, and Ndambarare Waterfall.
“After 5hr drive from Kigali to the canopy. The initial cost was expensive £329.55, then there was a fee added for the park entrance plus a fee added for a guide which you must have £113.47. Then when you get to the canopy it's only about 50 metres in length, which was disappointing.”
From Kigali, hike Nyungwe’s 70m suspended canopy bridge, visit Gisakura tea fields and Nyanza royal sites, with lunch included.
“These guys couldn't have been more professional. They turn up on time, get you to your destination on time and get you home on time and work with you on your budget, as simple as that.”

Kigali’s Gatsata Village story walk links the Nyabugogo River to Mount Jali summit views, with local guides and cultural context in 3 hours.
“I enjoyed my walk with Shaffi and he was a good guide. The trip started in the field near the river. This was once full of homes which were destroyed and inhabitants killed during the genocide, it’s now used to grow small crops of beans, maize and sweet potato. The hike up the hill was pleasant and Shaffi was personable and easy to get on with. We had some interesting conversations. The only reason I’ve not given 5/5 is that the story-telling part was a bit lacking. I’d like to have heard more about village life and customs in the community. I’d have loved more detail. However, I did really…”
Two days in Nyungwe: chimp trekking, a canopy walkway with forest views, and hikes, plus pickup and half-board stay from Kigali.
“I did the canopy walk and chimpanzee trekking. It was a fantastic experience! Canopy walk was terrifying if you’re afraid of heights but great views and chimpanzee trekking is amazing. Very professional and entertaining would use them again if I was in Rwanda!”
