IN THE KNOW: Making sure you don’t miss out

Head for dinner at Indian Khazana. It’s one of those quiet restaurants in downtown Kigali, situated near the National Bank of Rwanda. It’s hard to hear any noise as you enter, but pass the wall shutting the restaurant off from the small parking lot, and it seems as if you’re in a different world. Waiters are dressed in dark red Indian clothes with gold trimmings. You can’t go wrong with their menu. Treat yourself at Stipp Hotel with elegance and style to unwind in the hotel’s luxurious gym, sauna and then enjoy a full-body massage. The good news is, their prices are pocket friendly. Stipp Hotel-Kigali is located in the centre of Kigali city and is approximately 12km from Kigali international airport (in Kanombe). Also, the hotel has 50 suite executive rooms, restaurant, bar, swimming pool and steam bath. Party-goers spring to the brim, because the management of Royale Villa promises to always be at your service. The great news here is that, the hotel is yet to host another Carnival Nite, following last year’s which left many yarning for more...and more! The predictably bizarre Nite will attract some of East Africa’s most celebrated musicians, who will include Uganda’s rocking crew Radio and Weasel and Kenya’s famous female singer Wahu, among others. The artistes will perform until dawn and best music, cheap drinks and snacks are promised! Call on 3122. Kigali Taxi !
