As energizing as the city’s bustling crowds may be, everyone knows there’s something to be said for solitude. Everyone needs alone time now and again, and some things are just better enjoyed on your own. So why not indulge yourself with these pretty great and not so-costly solo activities? Whether you check out an art-gallery, treat yourself to a fancy treatment or drink, combining several of these will make for a pretty great day out in Kigali.

Why not…Venture off for a few hours of relaxation?

Now we’re talking about some real me-time. Kigali has a variety of spas in the metropolitan area that will ease your stress and change your mood as soon as you walk through the door. One such spa is aptly named Saray Spa; in there, you will taste the comforts of world class pampering. Enter a welcoming, attentive staff, private treatment rooms, steam rooms, saunas, fitness Centre and pool- and you will never want to return to the real world.

Among the options on the exquisite treatment menu are Swedish massages, Indian head massages, Jade hot stone therapy, lemon and mint scrubs and luxury facials. Treatments can be combined into half and full-day retreats.

While waiting for in-between treatments, treat yourself to one of Saray’s warm brownies and a glass of champagne.

Why not…Grab a cocktail…or two?

After your enjoyable day of taking time out for yourself, have a sip at Trophy’s Sports Lounge, an upscale Cocktail bar located in Kigali, around the corner from RDB’s General headquarters. Try as you might, you won’t find any cocktail menu at this bar anywhere else.

As soon as you step inside a waitress or bartender grills you on whatever cocktail you fancy, from tried-and-tested classics to more obscure creations (the Trophy’s Dawa is a Must-try).
