BEST THINGS TO DO IN KIGALI

The Retreat

You’re sure to love this 11 room eco-retreat found in Kigali. Each suite decorated in sustainable teak wood comes with a vaulted ceiling, two private patios (one at the front, one at the rear) and an outdoor rain shower. If this doesn’t make you feel good already, the restaurant serves up organic dishes and you can request bespoke yoga classes.
