Kigali, Rwanda: Daily Life as Travelers Here

Life in Kigali, Rwanda is full of daily adventure and culture. In our latest post we wander through busy markets, ride the city bus to Kisimenti for burgers, and reflect on how travel opens new ways of seeing the world. We visit the historic Hotel des Mille Collines—famous from Hotel Rwanda—and explore artist collectives that highlight Kigali’s creative scene. From tasting street food in the car-free zone to watching skateboarders on Saturday night, we experience the energy and spirit of Kigali. This journey blends local food, Rwandan culture, and city experiences, showing the ongoing rhythm of our daily life as travelers in Kigali..

Hello!

We're Chris and Emilie, and we slow travel around the world. We rent apartments in big cities, spend time in rural areas, hike, and camp - all with a goal of experiencing everyday life in new places. We plan our own schedule, keep costs low, and stay flexible, so if we enjoy a place, we can stay longer.
