The best experience ever!! - I had an amazing experience doing traditional Imigongo painting in Kigali. It was truly something special. The view from the cultural center was beautiful, especially during the 4 PM session with sunset and night views. The instructor was incredibly kind, patient, and passionate, he shared a lot about the culture and made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable.😊 If you’re in Kigali, I highly recommend trying this. It’s one of the best and most meaningful activities you can do!

Beading - A therapeutic experience that allowed us to laugh and enjoy sitting outside in the yard with fantastic coffee drinks, friends and a sweet leader. Our final projects are keepsakes of our time in Rwanda.

Great experience in itself, but issues around the organization - The experience itself is great and I would recommend, but we were disappointed by the issues around it. We had booked the afternoon slot, so when we got to the cafe before the start of the experience, we were told that we had actually booked the morning session. I showed them the confirmation on my phone that clearly stated we had booked the afternoon slot, and not the morning slot. They showed us a document that was not the confirmation from tripadvisor, so I would assume that sometime when they transferred the information, there was a mistake. They told us they would call the person who is doing the weaving, and to please be patient. That was no problem at all, we went ahead and ordered food and drinks at the Cafe (which was delicious and to be recommended). However, we almost waited for about 1 hour before the person came, which also was no issue. You could clearly tell that the person showing us the weaving did not want to be there, and that she maybe had plans elsewhere? She rushed us through the process. The weaving experience should have taken 2 hours, but she rushed us so that we were done after 1 hour. You could tell she was a bit impatient with our progress, which did not give me a good feeling. I have understanding for her, who knows what other things she had to take care of, and she was nice enough to give us a little gift of hers at the end which was kind, but I found it unfortunate to feel rushed in this process. Also, considering we had such a long wait time I would have appreciated if the cafe would have not charged us for our drinks for example.
