Rwanda has emerged as one of Africa’s premier destinations for international conferences, hybrid meetings, and high-level events. With world-class venues, excellent connectivity, and warm hospitality, the country offers an ideal environment for participants attending the 7th IAHR Africa Congress 2026.

Kigali, the capital, is celebrated for its safety, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere. Getting around the city is easy and enjoyable, thanks to well-maintained roads, efficient public transport, and convenient ride-hailing services. Visitors often remark on how effortless it is to navigate Kigali and how organized the city feels.

Rwanda’s reputation as a top MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destination continues to grow. RwandAir connects to more than 30 destinations, while major international carriers such as KLM, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, and Kenya Airways ensure seamless travel to and from Kigali. Delegates also benefit from a visitor-friendly visa policy, with a fully digital e-Visa system and visa on arrival for nationals of African Union, Commonwealth, and La Francophonie countries.

Beyond the conference venues, Kigali offers a unique mix of nature and innovation. The city features restored urban wetlands and eco-parks that showcase Rwanda’s leadership in environmental conservation. These green spaces, including native fig forests, rehabilitated streams, ponds for flood control, and reed-bed systems for natural water purification, provide peaceful spots to walk, relax, or enjoy the city’s biodiversity.

For those looking to explore further, Rwanda’s natural wonders are truly unforgettable. Visitors can go on a Big Five safari in Akagera National Park, meet mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, soak in the beauty of Lake Kivu, hike to Bisoke Crater Lake, or explore the rainforests of Nyungwe and Gishwati–Mukura. Every destination reflects Rwanda’s commitment to conservation, sustainability, and genuine hospitality.
