Engage in a hands-on sewing class at the Nyamirambo Women’s Centre, where the hum of machines and the chatter of local artisans bring the spirit of community to life. Stroll through the lush greenery of a tea plantation, delving into the art of tea harvesting and production before indulging in the delicate flavours of freshly brewed samples. In the heart of Nyungwe National Park, keep your eyes peeled for the playful antics of colobus monkeys amidst its ancient trees. Explore the dynamic Norrsken House Kigali, a hub of innovation where the brightest minds in Central Africa ignite change with their entrepreneurial visions. For those seeking an extended adventure, the optional safari through Akagera National Park promises a thrilling encounter with Africa's seemingly-endless gallery of exotic animals.
