Introduction
One of the great advantages of staying at Hemingways Retreat Kigali is its seamless connection to Kenya’s safari landscapes. For travellers looking to combine urban sophistication with wilderness adventure, Kigali and the Maasai Mara make the perfect pairing.

Kigali’s Urban Experience
Begin in Kigali, where guests can enjoy Rwanda’s rich history, creative culture, and thriving dining scene. From exploring art galleries to dining at restaurants such as Heaven, Fusion, or Pili Pili, the city offers a refreshing start to an African journey.

Onwards to Safari
Just a short flight connects Kigali with Nairobi and the Maasai Mara. Guests can continue their journey at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp or Hemingways River Camp, where open plains, wildlife encounters, and luxury under canvas await.

Why the Combination Works
Kigali offers modern comfort, cultural depth, and a gentle introduction to East Africa, while the Mara delivers the raw beauty of wilderness. Together, they create a journey that is as enriching as it is unforgettable.

Seamless Travel with Hemingways
With Hemingways’ portfolio spanning both Rwanda and Kenya, guests can enjoy the ease of coordinated itineraries, ensuring their transition from city to safari is effortless.

Conclusion
From Kigali’s vibrant capital to the wild beauty of the Maasai Mara, this is a journey of contrasts that complement one another perfectly. Hemingways Retreat Kigali makes the ideal starting point for an adventure that combines culture, history, and safari in one unforgettable trip.
