After spending a lovely afternoon, we took a leisurely stroll to Kurry Kingdom, a fine-dining Indian restaurant in the heart of Kigali. What a delightful discovery! The restaurant is beautifully laid out across a sprawling space, with distinct little areas that each have their own charm. From the inviting indoor…
One of the joys of being in Rwanda is discovering the little places and unexpected experiences that make getting to know Kigali so special. On one of our outings, we decided to visit Kigali Heights, a modern destination in the heart of the city, known for its restaurants, boutiques and…
