That’s always the 1st question, and we have the answer! Come hungry because we’ll be food-hopping, eating a variety of local cuisine such as brochettes, chapatis, ugali with stew, Isame rice, french fries, sambazas, matoke, etc., and finishing up with fresh fruit for dessert. A Rwandan fav specialty drink made of 100% sugar cane, coffee, or tea, and water are all included.

The minimum number of food tour guests is 3, and the maximum is 10 for our Rwandan Food Tour. For private food tours, we allow up to 20 guests. For private tours more than 15 guests, 2 tour guides will be on present.

The walking food tour takes between 3 and 4 hours depending on the pace of each individual group. There will be times when we get to sit however, we will walk from one place to another. All the stops will be within 5-15 mins away from each other, so for the most part, walking is light. However, we recommend comfortable closed-toed shoes.

We also recommend wearing comfortable clothes. Nyamirambo is an Islamic community therefore, so we suggest avoiding wearing crop tops, low-cut tops, short shorts, or any other revealing clothing out of respect for the local people and their beliefs and traditions.

We get asked this question a lot because of our company name, and although there will be rice on the menu, it’s not quite Nigerian Jollof Rice. The name Jollof in Jollof’Appetit is simply because our founder Ola is a Nigerian foodie that appreciates food from all cultures. And of course Appetit is a feeling you get when you want to eat food.
