The engine hums, the city opens — streets rising and falling with the hills that shape Kigali. On a motorbike tour, the air carries market spices, exhaust, and the distant call of vendors; riders thread through urban parks, skirt glass-and-concrete conference halls, and climb toward the ridge-line views from Mt. Kigali. The pace is immediate: stoplights, pedestrian crossings, and sudden vistas that demand a brief, breath-stealing pause.
