THINGS TO DO

Cycling & running routes

Start with a short loop close to home, then build up with hill rides and longer weekend routes. Pair exercise with a café stop so every outing feels like a full neighbourhood experience.

If you're visiting for the first time, follow suggested timing: mornings for cooler climbs, and evenings for scenic views.

Quick essentials
  • Pick a loop you can repeat for 3–4 sessions before increasing distance.
  • Bring a light layer and hydration for Kigali's changing elevations.
  • Use safe, well-lit routes — then add a viewpoint or park stop.
  • Plan around temperature: early mornings for hills; late afternoons for views.
  • Finish with recovery comfort: cafés, markets, and nearby services.
