Because of this tradition, it is common to find all businesses closed on Saturday mornings.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Kigali&#8217;s strategic location makes it a gateway to explore Rwanda&#8217;s stunning landscapes, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muafrika.travel\/en\/parques-nacionales\/volcanoes-national-park\/\" data-type=\"parques\" data-id=\"830\">Volcanoes National Park<\/a>, home to the famous mountain gorillas, and the serene shores of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muafrika.travel\/en\/parques-nacionales\/lake-kivu\/\" data-type=\"parques\" data-id=\"836\">Lake Kivu<\/a>.
