THE HOST CITY KIGALI
Kigali, Rwanda's vibrant capital, is ideally located in the heart of the country, nestled among rolling hills and valleys, with excellent road connections to all regions. Home to over one million residents, the city is known for its cleanliness and dynamic, progressive atmosphere. Visitors are often struck by its bustling, colorful energy, which reflects the pride of its communities.
Kigali offers a unique blend of stunning scenery, rich culture, warm hospitality, and the full diversity of Rwanda. As the gateway to the country, it serves as a hub for tourism, commerce, politics, education, and residential life. The city hosts key institutions including the presidential offices, ministries, and top-tier accommodation. Kigali operates in the Central African Time zone (GMT+2).
CURRENCY AND PAYMENTS
The Rwandan Franc (FRW) is the official currency of Rwanda. Major international currencies can be exchanged at banks and authorized exchange bureaus. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger stores, but it's recommended to carry cash for smaller businesses and markets.
HEALTH AND SAFETY

In May, Kigali enters the beginning of the dry season, experiencing reduced rainfall compared to previous months. Temperatures typically range from around 15°C to 27°C (59°F to 81°F). While rain is less frequent, occasional showers are still possible. Expect mild and relatively stable weather conditions, but it is always wise to be prepared for changes.
