Hello Kigali vs Explorease

The ‘Hello Kigali’ App is a free city guide discovery app for Kigali, Rwanda. It helps new visitors to Kigali (and locals) explore useful locations quickly and easily. Since 2015 it has been a popular way to find out where the best cafes with WiFi, shopping, and Rwanda cultural sites are located. The latest version takes that simple idea and adds site check-ins, ratings, social features, road directions, taxi estimates. and a ‘Best Of Kigali’ voting and ranking features.
