Kigali is the capital and largest city of Rwanda, widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most efficiently administered cities in Sub-Saharan Africa following its transformation in the decades after the 1994 genocide. The Kigali Genocide Memorial at Gisozi provides a comprehensive and carefully presented historical record of the genocide, commemorating over 250,000 victims buried on site. The city's growing arts scene, contemporary architecture, and strong café culture make it an increasingly significant urban destination for travellers transiting to Rwanda's parks.
