Start your guided City tour, Fashion, Visit Inema Art and Choose Kigali Art Gallery

Rwanda is bursting with creativity, with vibrant art galleries and fashion houses throughout the city. When you’re with Choose Kigali, you’re now one of us, getting exclusive access to Rwanda’s best artists, designers, photographers, and creators. This tour will bring you to not only see the best of Rwandan creativity, but you’ll really get to know the creators behind the work. Stops can include Inema Art Center and among other creative outlets.

Highlights:

The contemporary art galleries were established by Emmanuel NKURANGA, a self-taught painter and a mixed-media expressionist. He is co-founder and owner of Inema Arts Center in Kigali, Rwanda, and founder of Choose Kigali. Through his work, Nkuranga leads the country’s growing creative industry. After completing a High Diploma in Computer Studies (bachelors equivalent) at the Kigali Institute for Science and Technology in 2009, Nkuranga found a passion for art.When Nkuranga started his career in art in 2009, Rwandans didn’t consider art a serious economic pursuit. Nkuranga combined his strong business acumen with his artistic talent and took bold risks to ignite the contemporary art movement in Rwanda. These risks showed up not only on the canvas, but in envisioning how the power of art could propel Rwanda into the global creative world. Today, Nkuranga is largely credited for creating Rwanda’s thriving contemporary art industry. Nkuranga has a deep rolodex of clients, and his work has been shown around the world, from Nike Graphic Studio in Portland, OR to the Charlie Dutton Gallery in the UK. He has been an artist in residence and guest lecturer in undergraduate and graduate courses at Michigan State University, University of Virginia, and Scranton University.He was featured painting with H.E. President Paul Kagame and journalist Peter Greenberg in the documentary The Royal Tour: Rwanda aired on PBS.

After the experience, have dinner at Choose Kigali

Alongside our gallery, Choose Kigali hosts Guests Chefs ’featuring a seasonal multi-course set menu, a dining experience in an art gallery environment.

5:30am: Pick up at the hotel by our professional driver guide departing by road to the Volcanoes National Park headquarters. Here you are allocated a guide for one of the habituated mountain gorilla families and given a safety briefing before being taken by vehicle to a starting point, to begin your gorilla trek in the forest. The amount of time spent walking is dependent upon where the family of gorillas you are going to see are to be found on that day. Once the family is sighted you will spend about an hour with the gorilla family. After this phenomenal wildlife experience, walk back to your vehicle on the edge of the forest and transfer to The Bishops House for refreshment followed by lunch.

This afternoon, proceed to Kigali or you may have optional activities either visiting Twin Lakes or visit local village for a cultural experience.
