Rwanda: Christmas Is Fun At Kigali, Rwanda

15 December 2012

With 5 weekly flights on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, let RwandAir take you to the heart of Africa this Christmas to explore amazing African Safaris, Craft and Food. Mon and Thurs flight departs at 16.30pm while Tuesday, Friday and Saturday flights depart at 23.30pm.

Inhabited since the 11th-century, what is now Kigali has been the home of Twas, Tutsis and Hutus. The city sits on a series of verdant ridges and lush valleys, and has a Muslim Quarter and a bustling market. Rwanda's capital is the site of battles that left over a million, mostly Tutsi and moderate Hutus, dead. Kigali Memorial Centre is a permanent memorial to 1994's Genocide, built on a mass grave where 250,000 are buried. Kigali City Tour Bus offers an excellent introduction to this now safe, friendly city.
