Mount Kigali offers panoramic views of Kigali and the surrounding countryside, making it a popular spot for hiking, horseback riding, and enjoying nature. The trails range in difficulty, with some being more accessible than others; checking trail conditions beforehand is recommended. Solo visits are possible for experienced hikers, but guided tours are available and recommended for less experienced visitors or those wanting to learn more about the area's history and ecology. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, although the dry season (June to September) offers the best hiking conditions. The cost is relatively low, with transport and possible guide fees being the main expenses. A typical visit lasts from a few hours to a full day, depending on the activities chosen.
