Best time to go to Kigali Serena Hotel
The best time to visit Kigali is during the dry seasons, from June to September and December to February, when the weather is warm, clear, and ideal for exploring the city’s attractions or travelling onward to Rwanda’s national parks. These months offer pleasant daytime temperatures and minimal rainfall, perfect for sightseeing or relaxing by the hotel pool. The wetter months, from March to May and October to November, bring occasional showers that transform the city’s hills into a lush, green landscape, adding a romantic charm to Kigali’s already scenic vistas. Thanks to its temperate, high-altitude climate, the city remains comfortable year-round, making the Serena an inviting base in any season for travellers discovering the “Land of a Thousand Hills.”
