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.
