First Weekend in Rwanda: Kigali


Our first weekend in Rwanda we decided to head to Kigali to meet a new found friend, Miss Lydia! lol! We met Lydia through Facebook before arriving in Rwanda, and she was a massive help to us when we were preparing for life in Rwanda. (Thank you again Lydia!) So when we arrived in Rwanda I sent Lydia a text with my new number and she suggested we come down to Kigali for the weekend to finally meet her and so that she could introduce us to her awesome friends - we obviously took her up on that offer right away lol!

Gitarama (home) to Kigali (star)


Our weekend in Kigali was very fun and luxurious (a lot of time spent at the Serena Hotel [amazing] and nice restaurants, etc) - and expensive lol! But we really had a good time and it was the perfect way to spend our first weekend in Rwanda. Lydia and her friends were very accommodating and took us into their group right away, which is always great! The weekend was filled with nights out and lots of really yeummy food - very western for the most part, but the one Rwandan meal that we did have (beef brochettes @ Papa New Guinness restaurant) was the most amazing yet! (Great choice Guillaume)

Below are some pics from the weekend :-)
