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.

This was one damn good and fulfilling track up the mountain. And most of all Serge Placide made the entire hike more entertaining. With this activity you get to quickly explore the other beautiful side of Kigali you would rarely side. Plus the food at Fazenda Sengha exquisite. Highly recommend.

This tour is great if you're looking for a fun little adventure from Kigali. My guide, Serge, was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to get along with. The hike to Mt. Kigali mostly went through rural communities and was actually pretty challenging (this coming from someone who regularly hikes in the western US). It was a lot of continous uphill and uneven rocky paths. The view from the top was beautiful and the zipline course was fun. We also enjoyed some snacks and juice from the cafe up top, which was delicious!

Had an amazing time! I was traveling alone in Kigali and decided to go on a short hike. I’m so glad I chose this experience- Serge is a great guide and we had a fantastic morning. The hike was beautiful and the zip lining was so fun. Would 100% do it again.

This little adventure was the perfect antidote to a super long plane ride. The hike is challenging but also refreshing.

The experience was quite exciting and fun. I had a nice time. The mountain hike was a bit demanding because it was my first time hiking but I was determined to reach the finish line. Also, the tour guide was encouraging and motivating me to keep going.

This was my first time hiking and I have to say, I was a little nervous. I couldn’t have done it without Serge. He let me stop when I needed to and always reminded me that I wouldn’t be completing the hike alone. I was really grateful to have Serge as my tour guide and I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kigali.
