Peaceful hospitality. Meaningful experiences.
A welcoming destination for stays, conferences, events, weddings and retreats in the heart of Kigali.
Rooted in faith. Open to everyone.
Centre Missionnaire Lavigerie is a welcome house of the Missionaries of Africa: a place of peace, reconciliation and forgiveness in the middle of Kigali.
For more than a decade the community dreamed of a house where travellers, families and pilgrims could be received with the same care. In December 2021 that house opened its doors beside the main road into the city — with brick cloisters, gardens, a chapel and a table set for guests.
