Experience in Kigali, Rwanda, by Umulinga

How did you feel about living in Kigali? Do you recommend it? How is the city?

Life in Kigali is really nice. It is a clean city, with beautiful landscapes, different places to visit, to discover (museums, cultural centers, restaurants), thousand things to explore. There is a very warm atmosphere and a favorable climate. Outside of Kigali, there are many places to visit, including the Nyungwe Forest, where you can see the gorillas, the national park, the great national museum, the Royal Palace of Mwami, etc. The population is very welcoming and invites you to savor different traditional dishes. Come visit this country with thousand hills as it is called in the region.
