Rwanda’s capital city, Kigali is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable gorilla trek – one of Africa’s most fascinating wilderness experiences.
Kigali is the bustling capital city of Rwanda and home to its only international airport. Vibrant and colorful, the city spreads over scenic ridges and valleys, with the city center located high on one hill and the government quarter on another.
The highest hill, Mount Kigali, sits 1,850 m (6,075 feet) above sea level. The city’s highlights include the Genocide Memorial Center, the fruit market, lunch at the Hotel Mille Collines (of Hotel Rwanda fame) and a ride on a motorbike taxi through town.
Kigali, is home to many international hotel chains, but it is at a serene and authentic gem like Heaven Boutique Hotel that you will experience true Rwandan hospitality. Centrally located on a peaceful residential street, Heaven is nestled within lush tropical gardens with expansive views over the city.
The hotel is renowned for hotel owners and staff members who go the extra mile and mouth-watering cuisine served in Heaven Restaurant. With beautifully appointed rooms and a tranquil ambience, this hotel is an ideal stopover in between a gorilla trekking adventure in Rwanda Volcanoes National Park or a Big 5 safari in Akagera National Park. If, however, you have some time to explore Kigali, Heaven’s expert concierge team can plan a unique and memorable experience for you – from immersing yourself in Rwandan culture at farmers’ markets and a local village to learning basket weaving, drumming or how to prepare urwagwa (local banana beer).
