Itinerary and highlights
A Rwanda Smiles Boxing experience
Train outdoors with Kennedy or Mahoro, whether you’re a beginner, a family looking for a workout, or a professional fighter. Your coach adapts the session to your goals.
After a warm-up, you’ll practise technique, shadow boxing and pad work, then cool down. Sparring may be possible if requested in advance and your coach considers it suitable.
Kennedy is an active fighter and coach involved with the Boxing Federation. Mahoro is a former fighter and coach. Both have experience as judges and referees.
Our favourite location is Pele Stadium, a lively outdoor space where Kigali comes to run, skate, play football and dance. Afterwards, you can enjoy a meal in Nyamirambo (Umurenge).
Book a private session alone, as a couple, family or group. Scheduled group sessions and other suitable locations may also be available. Want to keep boxing in Kigali? Your coaches can help you find a local club.
They also support free boxing activities for local (street) children. If you are interested ask them whether a visit is possible during your stay.
