SIMBA SUPERMARKET IN KIGALI: SIMPLY SUPER

by DAO

I liked the Simba Supermarket because it is a Rwandan company and sells a lot of locally produced fresh foods. Their butchery was all locally produced meats and they sold several varieties of Rwandan cheese. They have 2 stone lions in front and you will discover inside they are a hyper-market with just about everything including an ATM that sometime works. They offer everything from a fresh bakery, butchery, cheeses, produce, housewares, wine/spirits, cleaners, sweets, sauces and tinned food. They also have a large electrical/appliance area, some furniture and a few clothes. They also have a café for a meal or take-away pizza and a cold drink. The staff are friendly and you can find just about anything you could possibly need during your stay in Kigali. In fact their shelves reach almost to the ceiling and are always full. In addition to local products they have lots of imported brands,...

NAKUMATT IN KIGALI: THE ONLY 24-HOUR GROCERY STORE IN RWANDA

by DAO

Nakumatt is the only 24-hour grocery store in Rwanda. Part of a large Kenya based chain, it offers just about everything. It’s actually a department store offering everything from stationery, appliances, electronics, bedding, camping equipment and household plastics. Did I mention it sells food? Oh, yes it does. They have a German Butchery. Let’s start there. Cooked and raw German delights for any carnivore. Next to it is the fresh bakery. On the other side is the wine co-located with the cheese & dairy products. Too right. Aisles of spices, mixes, tinned items, snacks, cakes, vegetables, fruit and pasta. They do offer some expensive Kenyan cheeses alongside cheaper (but still great quality) Rwandan produce. There is another grocery store just 75 meters away with almost the same range, but it’s not 24 hours. So if you have late-night cravings for food or some more cold beer – get down...

Any Market or Roadside Shop in Rwanda: Go for the Drum...Ya Know You Want One!

by LBKesner

The sounds of Rwanda and Uganda will stay with you, and one of the sounds is the music, the songs sung or played on traditional instruments. One member of our travel group purchased one of the large, beautiful cow skin-covered drums at one of our first roadside shopping stops. She tugged the drum up and down hotel stairs, maneuveured the drum on and off our small bus, and carted it to the airport in a new piece of cheap luggage especially purchased to fit her new prized possession. But, she definitely came home with the best souvenir of the trip!
