Kigali

Nyagatare

Nestled within the heart of Rwanda, the enchanting city of Kigali showcases the vibrancy of Africa with its lush hills and valleys. Kigali is renowned for its clean streets, warm and friendly people, and an enigmatic culture that captivates travellers around the globe. It's brimming with historical sites, such as the poignant Kigali Genocide Memorial, which pays tribute to the victims of the 1994 genocide, and the Presidential Palace Museum, displaying the intricate history of the country. Keen shoppers can indulge their senses at the sprawling Kimironko Market, where local artisans sell their crafts. Kigali's vibrant nightlife, sophisticated dining scene, and burgeoning arts and music culture further add to the appeal of this enchanting African metropolis.

I felt safe in Kigali, more so than in any other large city. I noticed that people look out of understandable curiosity, as tourism there is still relatively new. I just looked back at them, said hello and moved on. Men can be annoying, but I never felt unsafe. I travelled around the city by motorcycle taxis and had no problems.
