Whether you have just got off a long flight or getting ready for your late evening flight, or have a free day in Kigali, a walk from Nyamirambo town to Mount Kigali is simply the best!
Mount Kigali is not a mountain as the name suggests but rather a hill whereby some areas have been developed with modern homes, restaurants and galleries. One part of the hill is still intact with bushes, rock and red soil outcrops with well-maintained walking trails. The walk is about 10 – 15 kms but can be less or longer depending on one’s fitness and interest.
At Nyamirambo Women center is where the walk begins from after a detailed. The first section of the walk is through busy streets, shops, mosques and churches. You then get into the bushy section and walk up to the highest point – about 6,000 feet/1,800 meters, a point offering great views of Kigali city. There’s an option to walk back to the starting point (highly recommended), but if you prefer to jump in the Adventure Consults jeep, the guide will be on call.
Get in touch, and walk to the summit of Mt Kigali!
