Why Kigali

Kigali is extraordinary. Plastic bags are banned, community cleaning (Umuganda) happens every last Saturday of the month, and it is safe in a way few African capitals are. The city has sophisticated dining, excellent coffee culture, and is a growing regional tech and conference hub (CHOGM, Africa CDC, dozens of international summits).

Kimihurura — expat and diplomatic quarter.
Nyarutarama — residential premium. Sports facilities, golf course, top restaurants.
Gacuriro — newer, more affordable, rapidly developing.

Kigali as a gorilla base

Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park is 3 hours from Kigali by road. Gorilla trekking permits cost $1,500 per person but are among Africa's most extraordinary wildlife experiences. Most travellers use Kigali for 2 nights before and after their gorilla trek.
