Frequently asked questions
About Kigali
Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, is located in the heart of the country. The official currency used in Kigali is the Rwandan Franc. The city is known for its vibrant culture, friendly locals, and beautiful landscapes, including rolling hills and lush greenery. Visitors can explore the Genocide Memorial, local markets, and enjoy traditional Rwandan cuisine.
When to visit
The best time to visit Kigali is during the dry season, which runs from June to September. During this time, the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. However, if you want to witness the lush green landscapes, the rainy season from March to May is ideal. Just be prepared for occasional showers.
Getting around
Getting around Kigali is relatively easy with options like taxis, moto-taxis, and buses. Taxis are a convenient way to travel within the city, while moto-taxis are popular for short distances. Buses are also available for longer journeys to other parts of Rwanda.
Traveller tips
When visiting Kigali, make sure to respect the local customs and traditions. It's also recommended to carry cash as credit cards may not be accepted everywhere. Be cautious of your belongings in crowded areas and always negotiate prices before taking a taxi or moto-taxi. Lastly, try to learn a few basic phrases in Kinyarwanda, the local language, to communicate with the locals more effectively.
