The Nest boutique guest house is in Kimihurura, undoubtedly Kigali’s best neighbourhood with a fantastic selection of restaurants and bars all within a 5-minute walk (look out for our recommendations!). For business, the Kigali Conference Centre is within a 15-minute walk, whilst Kigali’s best gym is just next door so no excuses!
Internet research. Traveler forums like TripAdvisor, the US and UK government advisories and popular Africa travel blogs (like this one!) make it quick and easy to find out what’s happening where.
Contextualize the headlines. High crime rates can taint an entire country but iconic destinations like Cape Town and the Masai Mara are among the safest places to visit: take a stroll along Cape Town’s Atlantic promenade one summer’s evening and you’ll see what I mean.
Be sensible: Don’t take photographs at border crossings or of government buildings and adopt a positive attitude when dealing with uniformed authorities. Take advantage of on-the-ground information - your hotel concierge and tour guide are there to help.
Be respectful: Treat places with religious or cultural sensitivities, such as Zanzibar or the Maasai homelands, with the same respect you expect of tourists in your neighborhood. Avoid taking intrusive photographs of people and dress appropriately in religious settings. Appropriate dress for men and women in these religious regions is clothing that covers the knees and elbows, closes up to the collarbone. For a woman with long hair, it's often considered appropriate to tie your hair back or simply tuck it into a hat.

We will pick you from your accommodation and drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, stopping at the scenic spots where you can take the quintessential holiday picture. It’s a 3-hour drive, depending on road conditions.
Uganda's star attraction is the endangered mountain gorilla, the bulkiest of living primates, and among the most peaceable. Staring into the pensive brown eyes of these gentle giants, who share 95% of their genes with humans, is as humbling as it is thrilling; no less so when one realizes that fewer than 700 individuals survive, divided between Bwindi National Park and the Virunga Mountains. Within Uganda, five habituated gorilla troops – four in Bwindi and one in Mgahinga National Park - can be visited by a total of 30 tourists daily.
