O atrakcjach
Szybkie fakty: Rwanda's highest point in the city, it rises 1,850 meters above sea level and offers panoramic views of all three of Kigali's districts. The summit is home to the Masaka Beach Hotel and a massive flagpole flying Rwanda's national flag.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: At the top, a giant Rwandan flag the size of a volleyball court snaps in the wind, visible from almost anywhere in the city. Weekly community cleanups on the mountain trails have transformed it into one of the greenest urban hiking spots in East Africa.
Wskazówki od insiderów
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, the trail is a steep dirt path with loose rocks after rain.
- Bring water and a small snack, there are no shops once you start climbing.
- Go on a Saturday morning to join the community cleanup hike and meet locals.
- The best photo spot is the bench near the summit flagpole just before sunset.
