Kigali Cultural Life

meant to showcase and celebrate the local and regional culture. These are rare
and special occasions to get entertained, learn and expand your horizons, the
best of them being the Unveil Africa Festival, that brings together famous
cultural artists, and traditional dance troupes, usually called Intore (“chosen
ones” in Kinyara. As if this was not enough, this is paired with art
exhibitions where you can buy your original paintings or art crafts such as the
world-famous Rwanda Imigongo art. Kigali has its style when it comes to showcasing both historical and
cultural heritage. Museums such as the
King’s Palace and the Ethnographic Museum in Nyanza district, southern
province, to learn more about the life, customs, traditions as well as the
lifestyle of Rwandan kings as well as ancient Rwandans. You will get to learn
about Rwandan traditional music, traditional Rwandan hairstyle also known as
“Amasunzu”, the hairstyle that Lupita Nyong’o wore on the red carpet at the Oscar

Who
doesn’t want to keep their treasured possessions safe and secure especially
while in an unfamiliar place? None. That is mostly because some people,
unfortunately, got robbed of their items in their travels. Given the security
protocol in Rwanda, that is unlikely to happen. The security and safety of your
belongings is something we care much about, at Kadoo Travels. We have our
security guard at the apartments and we have a communication system to help you
out in case you are lost, or have any other issue. That is how much we care

Rwandan Local Cuisine - Something not to
miss
Where can I dine with my people while in Kigali? Glad you asked! There are a myriad of choices. It all depends on your preferences and
your budget (the Rwandan cuisine is not that expensive though!). Local restaurants in Kigali such as Fusion Restaurant, Filini Restaurant
and Bar, La Creola, Pili pili and Cucina restaurant are among the best and will
serve you with Rwandan genuine hospitality. Have you always wanted to taste
traditional Rwandan food? Well, a multitude of classic restaurants will be
happy to host you, and serve you the Rwandan traditional dishes. If you’ve never tasted isombe (blended from
cassava leaves) with eggplants and ground nuts, Ugali with meat, and Agatogo
(from green bananas that are peeled and cooked with a variety of ingredients),
then this is your time. All these kinds of food are sweet and savory. Try it,
you’ll thank me later. Who
doesn’t like sharing street food with a loved one while jogging on a starry
evening? Rwanda’s street food culture is ever-evolving. The most popular street
foods include Samosas (usually baked using eggs, meat or irish potatoes),
brochette, and donuts. To make any trip complete, don’t forget to take some
local fruits such as yellow bananas, papaya, pineapple or a smoothie. Ready to
grab your appetite and enjoy your adventure like never before? This is your
time.
Shopping
When
it comes to shopping, there are a lot of options of modern and diversified
markets for a smooth shopping experience in Kigali. Whether it is Kimironko
market located at Kimironko, or Nyarugenge market just in Downtown, it won’t
take longer for you to see how the friendliness, genuine hospitality and
smartness of Rwandas is on another level. In Rwanda, a customer is a king and
we reflect that in all that we do. All you need to take is a bike from the
apartment to the market and be ready to smile a lot because Rwanda will always
give you good reasons to make you do it!
The Rwandan Festive atmosphere
Rwanda
people highly value the festive season and are always prepared to maximize the
happy ambiance during the season. Rwandans mostly hold Christmas, Boxing Day
and New Year’s Eve. On Christmas, the roads are full of families, going to
churches for service, and it is a special time to share special meals with
family and friends. On the New Year’s Eve, thousands of Rwandans, especially
the youth, gather in peaceful Kigali streets to witness the shooting off
fireworks of the New Year. This is something you shouldn’t miss, looking at how
much fun it brings, plus the connection with the loved ones.
