This proud, future-focused city has been transformed with new skyscrapers, great dining establishments, and a vibrant art scene. Not only is it arguably one of the most attractive and most welcoming capital cities in Africa, but a package holiday to Kigali with Qatar Airways Holidays also makes an ideal base to explore the rest of what Rwanda has to offer.
