Welcome to the "Land of a Thousand Hills", Rwanda. This is not your "typical" digital nomad destination. If you love nature and outdoorsy, off-the-beaten-path locations, then this is the Chapter for you. Kigali will be our central hub to go on adventures like hiking Mount Kigali, spotting the Big Five in Akagera National Park, or trekking the bamboo forests of Volcanoes National Park, home of the mountain gorillas.
Proud to be called Africa's cleanest city, Kigali itself offers a thriving arts and cafe scene, friendly locals, scrumptious East African cuisine, and an impactful history and sense of heritage. So let's lace up our hiking boots and explore this beautiful country and its abundant nature and wildlife together!
Experience Rwanda with the Tribe
Take on Kigali with the Tribe and discover a new side to Africa. Open your mind to the cocreated community experiences, adventures, and classic WiFi Tribe moments that'll make our time here one of a kind.
1. Live in Kigali for a month
As the largest city in Rwanda, Kigali has a lot of sights to see: Go explore the Kigali Genocide Memorial, visit the Presidential Palace Museum, experience the vibrancy of Kimironko Market, or enjoy Rwandan Cuisine at a Local Restaurant.
2. City views from Mount Kigali
Not a mountain in the traditional sense, but Mount Kigali offers a unique opportunity to experience the natural beauty and panoramic views of Rwanda's capital from a different perspective.
3. Gorilla trekking in the national park
This is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Africa, offering the chance to come face-to-face with the rare mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
4. See how Rwanda's famous coffee is made
Rwanda is famous for its coffee. Visit a coffee plantation to learn about planting, harvesting, drying and roasting from bean to cup - and don't forget to join a tasting.
5. Safari in Akagera National Park
African wildlife at its finest and wildest: elephants, lions, and giraffes, oh my! Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Rwandan savannah, wetlands, and lakes.
6. Relax at Lake Kivu
Lake Kivu, one of the African Great Lakes, lies on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's a unique destination, dotted by beautiful islands and surrounded by lush, terraced hillsides.
7. See a Rwandan dance performance
Enjoy the energetic traditional performances and vibrant costumes, that narrate stories and themes from Rwandan history, folklore, and daily life.
8. Do the "Milk Bar" thing
Milk bars, locally known as "Amata Fromageries," are a unique aspect of Rwandan culture. They offer a variety of fresh milk-based beverages and serve as popular social hubs for locals.

Highlights
With its strong internet infrastructure, affordable living costs, and safe, clean environment, Kigali has emerged as a compelling destination for digital nomads in the past few years.
We will stay in the Robero neighborhood, allowing us to have a quiet home base in a safe residential area while having access to the bustling city life.
We'll have all the local amenities close by, including markets, restaurants, and cultural sites.
Our one villa has a wrap-around furnished communal terrace with epic city views.
Good to know
Our home doesn’t have AC. Temperatures typically range from 18°C (64.4°F) to the highest of 28°C (82.4°F). AC is unnecessary in August due to the city’s temperate climate, resulting from its high elevation.
August also falls within the dry season, so we can expect mild temperatures and low humidity, making the weather quite comfortable.
We will have private security.
Renting cars for day-to-day would be best and private parking is available on the property.
There is a paid laundry service available.
