Great, you have the day off work but how can you make the most of it? Here are some great ways to spend one of Rwanda's public holidays with your family.
Get Relaxed
Take your family to relax by one of these great pools in Kigali, helping you to grab some much-needed sun whilst your kids splash around.
Get Active
Take your kids to Cercle Sportif for a good run around on the tennis court or a swim in their pool. Alternatively, you could go horse riding on Mount Kigali with Fezenda Sengha.

Get Playful
If you've got young kids, a public holiday is a great time to take them to some of the local playgrounds in Kigali. Find them here. One great option is La Palisse Hotel, which has a huge outdoor playground and grass area that is perfect spot to have a play date or picnic.

Get Out of Kigali
Public holidays are a perfect excuse to take a day trip out of Kigali. There are so many options, including Huye, the King's Palace, Karongi and Bugesera District. Find out more information on one-day trips here.
