From our meeting point at Norrsken House Kigali, we’ll start our walk toward the Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial. Along the way, you’ll get a feel for Kigali’s clean, well-planned streets and modern architecture. We’ll pass by lively commercial areas, small local shops, and everyday city life unfolding around us. At the Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial, we’ll pause to reflect on the history of the 10 Belgian soldiers who were killed at the start of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The site features a small museum and the preserved bullet-marked building where they made their last stand, offering a powerful glimpse into Rwanda’s past and its journey toward peace.

Biryogo has a lot to offer, and we’ll be there to take it all in! We’ll walk through its vibrant car-free zone, where locals gather at outdoor tea shops, the aroma of grilled brochettes fills the air, and the streets buzz with life. As we explore, we’ll pass through beautiful mural-covered streets, a showcase of Kigali’s creativity and culture. We’ll also stop by the Nyamirambo Women’s Center, where you can learn about the community’s inspiring initiatives and browse locally made crafts. Whether it’s sipping spiced Rwandan tea, tasting fresh juice, or just soaking up the lively atmosphere, this stop will give you an authentic feel of Kigali’s social and cultural heartbeat.

Our final stop will be Choose Kigali Art Gallery, a stunning space showcasing contemporary Rwandan and African art. Here, you’ll explore beautifully curated exhibitions featuring paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media pieces that highlight the region’s creativity and talent. The gallery’s serene setting, with its elegant design and lush surroundings, makes it the perfect place to reflect on the day’s experiences. This will be our finishing point. From here, you can choose to walk back to Norrsken House Kigali, or if you prefer, we’ll be happy to help you arrange a cab or motorcycle ride home.
