Hi Stephen! We really appreciate it, and it was amazing to show you around Kigali. Regards
The Kigali City Tour was just amazing. The guide Darius took me to the main sightseeings of Kigali. Darius was very knowledgable and provided many stories and history of Rwanda and Kigali. He also took lots of beautiful pictures in front of main sightseeings. I highly recommend this tour.

Let me start by stating I asked for an in-depth Kigali tour and Ben our Tour guide delivered with a 5-Star tour. Ben’s knowledge of every nook and cranny of the city so so impressive. We went to New & Old Kigali, Genocide Memorial, Embassy Row, local markets and other place that locals go. Mt Kigali was absolutely breathtaking!!! I recommend Usalama tours & if you get Ben you will be glad you did.
Thanks a lot, Steve, we really appreciate! It was amazing to show you guys around Kigali town, and most importantly, your flexibility, feeling at home, and making the tour environment user-friendly. We will be happy to meet you again in Rwanda!

This half-day Kigali tour provided an insightful and well-paced introduction to the city and its story. The agency’s recommendation to begin at 9am was excellent advice — attractions were just opening, and the timing allowed for a smooth, unhurried experience. The itinerary covered a broad range of highlights that illustrate Kigali’s evolving identity. From the iconic Kigali sign and the lively Car Free Zone to modern landmarks such as the Kigali Convention Centre and BK Arena, it is clear how forward-looking and globally connected the capital has become. The panoramic views from Mount Kigali beautifully capture why Rwanda is known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” and even a surprise monkey sighting served as a reminder of how closely nature and city life coexist here. A visit to Kimironko Market revealed the everyday rhythm of Kigali — colourful produce, animated exchanges and warm smiles. It offered a grounded perspective on daily life beyond the city’s polished façade. The historical component of the tour was equally significant. The Belgian UN Peacekeepers Memorial and the Kigali Genocide Memorial are powerful and sobering sites that reflect Rwanda’s painful past, resilience and remarkable unity. The KwiBuka 31 (“Remember”) sign reinforces this message of remembrance, reflection and renewal. Special mention goes to my guide, Innocent, who was knowledgeable, thoughtful and engaging throughout. He explained the cultural and historical context with clarity and handled sensitive topics with care and respect. Overall, this is a well-structured and meaningful tour for anyone seeking a concise yet comprehensive overview of Kigali — one that thoughtfully balances the city’s history, resilience and dynamic future.
We really appreciate it! Serving you was amazing, and we liked your flexibility and excitement to know more about Rwanda. You are always welcome to Rwanda with yours!
Spent the day with Darius, who was a wonderful person to talk with and to show around Kigali. He was very knowledgeable of the countries history and big landmarks. After visiting the Genocide Memorial, he shared how this still impacts the country today and how they all grow through their experiences. Wonderful trip, would recommend! Thanks again.
Serving you was amazing, and we liked spending time with you while exploring Kigali, the cleanest city in Africa. You are always welcome to Rwanda!
An incredible way to experience the city of Kigali! My guide, Innocent, was fantastic. His knowledge and professionalism were amazing. Can’t say enough good things about the half day tour and Innocent. This was my 3rd visit to Kigali and I feel like I’ve seen the city for the first time.
It was amazing to serve you and together explore the cleanest city in Africa. You are always welcome to Rwanda!
