Kigali

Kigali is the city every Rwanda gorilla trip passes through. The airport is the reason for the night.

Buildings in Kigali, Rwanda

Why go

A memorial visit is something many people choose to do, and it should be a deliberate plan, not a rushed hour.

  • Buildings in Kigali, Rwanda

    What you come for

    One night on the way in or out. The gorillas are a few hours' drive, not in the city.

Where to go

When to go

  • Buildings in Kigali, Rwanda

    When to go

    The city is open all year. Book the gorilla permit for the drier months first, then fit Kigali around it.

Travel advice

  • Buildings in Kigali, Rwanda

    Before you travel

    Kigali's health advice is not automatically the same as the forest. Ask a clinic about the whole trip. Do not drive to the trailhead on the morning you land.

Costs

Kigali is a city rate, small beside the gorilla permit. Keep them on the same quote so the transfer is visible.

International flights, visas, and tips sit outside the sample price. Nothing is paid until you accept the quote.
