A Day in Kigali, Rwanda as a Digital Nomad and Solo Female Traveler
As a digital nomad and solo female traveler, I often find myself exploring new cities and immersing myself in different cultures. Recently, I had the opportunity to spend a day in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. Known for its beautiful landscapes and diverse wildlife, Rwanda is a country that has been making a name for itself on the traveler’s radar.
My day in Kigali started early as I woke up in the cozy guesthouse where I was staying. After a quick breakfast of fresh fruit and coffee, I headed out to explore the city. One thing that struck me immediately was the cleanliness of Kigali. The streets were spotless, and the city had a calm and peaceful atmosphere that was refreshing compared to the chaos of some other cities I had visited.
My first stop was the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a sobering yet important reminder of the tragic events that took place in Rwanda in 1994. The memorial is a moving tribute to the victims of the genocide and serves as a place of remembrance and reflection. It was a humbling experience to learn about the history of the country and the resilience of its people in the face of such tragedy.
After spending some time at the memorial, I decided to explore one of Kigali’s many markets. The Kimironko Market was a bustling hub of activity, with vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts. I picked up some souvenirs to take home with me and enjoyed chatting with the friendly locals.
For lunch, I headed to one of Kigali’s many cafes, where I indulged in a delicious Rwandan meal of grilled fish and plantains. The food in Rwanda is a delightful mix of flavors and spices, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
In the afternoon, I took a stroll through the Nyarutarama neighborhood, known for its beautiful parks and green spaces. I marveled at the stunning views of the city and the surrounding hills and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.
As the sun began to set, I made my way to the rooftop bar of my guesthouse to watch the city come alive at night. The lights of Kigali twinkled against the backdrop of the hills, creating a magical scene that I will never forget.
Overall, my day in Kigali as a digital nomad and solo female traveler was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moving history of the genocide memorial to the vibrant markets and delicious food, Kigali left me with a lasting impression that will stay with me for years to come. I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful city to anyone looking to explore a new and exciting destination.
