Kigali: Guided City Walking Tour with Genocide Memorial｜Rwanda

Begin your day and head to Kimironko Market. Explore the chaotic, colorful aisles on a guided walking tour. Sample seasonal fruits, like tree tomatoes, and see local seamstresses crafting vibrant Kitenge fabrics.

Next, take to the Kigali Genocide Memorial on Gisozi Hill. Take a quiet, respectful 2-hour self-guided walking audio tour through the historical and peaceful mass graves.

Then, head to the central business district for a relaxing 45-minute stroll along the modern, pedestrian-only boulevard. View street art, use the clean facilities, and photograph the urban skyline.

Next, climb up the ridge from downtown into Kigali's oldest, most vibrant neighborhood. Explore the bustling streets past the Nyamirambo Women's Center and end on the Biryogo Car-Free Food Street for a local lunch of "Mélange" (buffet) or a dynamic "Spiced Milk Tea" (Agashya) break.

Finally, tackle the steep, winding, unpaved roads straight to the highest crest of the city. Enjoy a 1.5-hour nature walk through the breezy eucalyptus forests. Conclude with panoramic horizon views of the city or optional ziplining at Fazenda Sengha.
