Splendid
The Kigali City Tour was a beautiful experience and most importantly was the tour guide Mr Jabil. He made the tour worth every bit of the time spent. He is very friendly, full of energy and vast in the cultural knowledge and history of Rwanda and its neighbouring counties. After the tour with him I felt like visiting DR Congo 🇨🇩 ☺️. I enjoyed my tour and visit to Kigali. Thank you Sahihi Africa Tours, Thank you to Mr Jabil.
