With its vibrant nightspots, thriving art scene, modern landmarks such as the Kigali City Tower, and its use as a stopping off point to view the country’s mountain gorilla population, Rwanda’s capital has much to offer. The 20-storey Kigali City Tower - the tallest building in the country - is one sight to enjoy during a visit, and it boasts a cinema as well as a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a nightclub on the top floor. Speaking of which, the city’s eateries and nightlife are a particularly popular aspect of Kigali city life. Elsewhere, the events of the country’s bloody civil war and genocide - which horrified the world nearly a quarter-of-a-century ago - are also remembered at the moving Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, which attracts many a visitor eager to pay their respects to those who lost their lives. Whatever the reason for your visit, these top Airbnb vacation rentals provide plenty of options when looking for a base from which to explore Kigali. Check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Kigali.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 07, 2024.
