About this experience
Rwanda is a country in central Africa whose geography is mainly dominated by mountains, hence the name 'a country of a thousand hills'. Despite the country having a lot of hills and mountains, Kigali city dwellers, remain left behind, when it comes to recreational hiking experiences.
This package offers participants an opportunity to experience at first hand a day to day lifestyle of Rwandans. whereas a walk along Nyabarongo river where different agricultural activities can be seen, birds singing around will be an added delight.
Mt. Kigali is the highest mountain (hill) in Kigali. The trail starts from Nyabarongo wetland (Ruliba clay factory) and finishing in Nyamirambo. It is a wonderful way to spend a few hours enjoying some fresh air, great views, and getting some rather vigorous exercise all in the heart of Kigali.
