Community-based cultural Experience days in rural Rwanda


Join a local hostess on her hillside, working, feasting, creating and laughing together in a day of rural Rwandan life. Designed and hosted by artisans and artists, our Experience Days are a truly wonderful way to get a taste of the beauty and rigor of rural life and Rwandan culture. Come for a day or create a multi-day Experience. Azizi Life specializes in hosting families, missions teams and school groups. Book online or contact our team to customize your Experience. Experiences listed here start from our main location in Byimana, Ruhango in the Southern Province about a one hour and thirty minute drive from Kigali.

“We had an amazing experience! Best day in Rwanda. Everyone was so welcoming. I enjoyed being a part of a day in the lives of the ladies and their children…. Could not have had a better or more impactful experience.”

“Just exactly what I always look for in a holiday but seldom find – friendly people sharing their daily life, answering all those questions I’d been dying to ask, even showing an interest in where I come from.”

“I’ve been to 25 countries and outside of living in someone’s home, this is the most that I ever learned/experience about a different culture in one day. I would highly recommend this experience for anybody who wants to see the life of a real Rwandan.”
