Hôtel des Mille Collines

Hôtel des Mille Collines is Kigali's most storied and historically significant hotel, immortalised in the 2004 film Hotel Rwanda for sheltering over 1,200 refugees during the 1994 genocide. Today it stands as a comfortable, well-appointed four-star property in the heart of Rwanda's modern, immaculately clean capital city, with 112 rooms surrounding a large outdoor pool and garden.

For Saringi Tours Rwanda safari guests, the Mille Collines provides a reliable, centrally located Kigali base for arriving and departing days. The hotel's history, central position, restaurant, and pool combine with Kigali's remarkable urban transformation, the city is consistently ranked among Africa's safest and best-managed, to make the capital visit a genuinely meaningful component of the Rwanda gorilla trekking experience.
