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. Thus far, people in need of hiking experience would have to make a trip in the north (volcano hike).
This package will offer participants an opportunity of experiencing at first hand a day to day lifestyle of Rwandans, including the use of public transportation, though one can opt for a private drive. A walk along Nyabarongo river where different agricultural activities can be seen, birds singing around will be a delight. A short walk thorough neighboring community and mount Kigali hike where tourist can choose one activity of their own choice, once at the top (zip lining, archery and bungee). A walk home through Nyamirambo neighborhood is recommended, but one may opt out, if tired.
