Mount Kigali Hike and Zipline Adventure Tour(Pick up &drop off)
Description
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. This package offers participants an opportunity to experience at first hand a day to day lifestyle of Rwandans. whereas a walk along Nyabarongo river where different agricultural activities can be seen, birds singing around will be an added delight. Mt. Kigali is the highest mountain (hill) in Kigali. The trail starts from Nyabarongo wetland (Ruliba clay factory) and finishing in Nyamirambo. It is a wonderful way to spend a few hours enjoying some fresh air, great views, and getting some rather vigorous exercise all in the heart of Kigali.

Great hike with great views! I visited Kigali on a short solo trip and wanted to see some sights. Serge set me up with this hike and a timely professional driver for a one-day Bisoke Volcano climb (which was difficult but awesome). Serge is respectful and good company; I would recommend Rwagasabo for all groups or solo visitors like me looking to explore Rwanda. I'll be booking with them again when I come back! Thanks so much, Serge!
I hiked the Mountain Kigali Trail and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The trail offered beautiful views of Kigali and the surrounding hills, with lush greenery and peaceful nature throughout. The paths were well marked and varied in terrain, which made the hike both enjoyable and rewarding. The location was convenient and accessible, and the scenery along the way made it worth every step. Whether you’re into hiking, nature photography, or just want to enjoy fresh air and great views, this trail is a must‑visit. I left feeling refreshed and inspired highly recommended!
Enjoyed this very much. I love that it provided some interaction with and learning about a local community. Beautiful, panoramic views were available from the top.
I had a beautiful time. Seeing the locals doing the hike effortlessly, was even more encouraging and rewarding. The different views were breathtaking.
It was a good experience hiking mount kigali. We had some interns join us for the hike, they made the experience more pleasant.
This was one damn good and fulfilling track up the mountain. And most of all Serge Placide made the entire hike more entertaining. With this activity you get to quickly explore the other beautiful side of Kigali you would rarely side. Plus the food at Fazenda Sengha exquisite. Highly recommend.
This tour is great if you're looking for a fun little adventure from Kigali. My guide, Serge, was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to get along with. The hike to Mt. Kigali mostly went through rural communities and was actually pretty challenging (this coming from someone who regularly hikes in the western US). It was a lot of continous uphill and uneven rocky paths. The view from the top was beautiful and the zipline course was fun. We also enjoyed some snacks and juice from the cafe up top, which was delicious!
Had an amazing time! I was traveling alone in Kigali and decided to go on a short hike. I’m so glad I chose this experience- Serge is a great guide and we had a fantastic morning. The hike was beautiful and the zip lining was so fun. Would 100% do it again.
Your Positive feedback is a big encouragement to our team. We thank you for choosing us to be your travel partner and we look forward to serving you again and your recommendations as well in coming future.
During the trek, I saw the villagers at work. We were able to greet each other and communicate a little. There were amazing views, delicious food and beer at the top! It was a lot of fun. Thank you for your wonderful Guide!
This little adventure was the perfect antidote to a super long plane ride. The hike is challenging but also refreshing.
