About Kigali
Kigali is the capital of Rwanda and the main gateway for gorilla trekking safaris. The city sits near the center of the country, so it works as a base for visiting Rwanda’s top parks. You land at Kigali International Airport and reach Volcanoes National Park in two to three hours by road. Kigali also offers memorials, art centers, markets, and cafes. Plan one to two days here.
