Jamie! YOU are beautiful and a gem! Thank you for cheering us on, I will look forward to seeing you in yin yoga class sometime soon <3
Très belle adresse avec une vue sur Kigali tout en étant au calme, une carte très saine et du très bon café ! La prochaine fois nous testerons les chambres et les séances de yoga, ils donnaient envie!

Estelle, thank you so much for including a visit to YO ki GA li during your adventure through the Rwanda; It means the world to have travelers include us in their itenerary. Come back to East Africa soon!
This place is a cozy cafe-style spot with super fresh vegetarian and vegan food, amazing Rwandan coffee, and chill outdoor seating that’s perfect. The owner Emma is so sweet and kind and the staff are very friendly.
10/10 🤩
P.S - They have a BnB

Amani! It has been so lovely having you out on a few different occasions. You and your adorable daughter lit up our space. Come back soon!
Ich bin schon zum dritten Mal hier. Ist wie nach Hause kommen. Am besten ist die überdachte Terrasse, sowohl tags als auch abends. Nein, halt, der großartige Kaffee! Ach, nein!, das Beste ist Emma, die herzlichste und unkomplizierteste Gastgeberin. Ach, einfach alles gut hier!

Volker (!!!), it's definitely the platform and the coffee! However, I think the real answer is that we attract the best guests; you returning feels like home to us too <3
We stayed at YO ki GA li for our first couple of nights in Rwanda and then made sure to come back again for the last night of our trip. Everybody on their team is attentive and kind. We had the best cappuccinos, a comfy bed, a warm shower and laundry! We also joined all the yoga classes we could, which were wonderful. From the deck/cafe, we enjoyed the clear mornings, afternoon thunderstorms, and starry evenings. It’s in a lovely, walkable neighborhood with really cool art galleries nearby. Emma was so sweet to offer us advice and help us plan our activities/travels. Highly recommend for a restful stay in Kigali!

Such an authentic and beautiful place! Great rooms, great vegan and vegetarian food, and a wonderful place for people trying to fully connect with themselves 🪷🧘🏾♀️

Giselle, we definitely aim to be a place where people can connect with themselves; thank you for including that sentiment in this lovely review <3
Emma and her team are the kindest hosts and made me feel right at home. Every day they made sure I have everything I need, be it an early-morning breakfast to go, a charger, or a cab. Communication was always very fast and easy and the rooms are very clean and nicely decorated.
The breakfast with a view on the patio is simply amazing and such a peaceful start into the day. I can highly recommend to anyone looking for a calm and nice place to stay in Kigali.

We loved hosting you Johanna. You will always have a home (and a charger) here with us <3
Yokigali is the go to place if you like to do yoga in a very tranquil and beautiful environment accompanied by skilled teachers. The place oozes harmony, well-being and good vibes. All this wouldn’t exist if it were not for founder and owner Emma who created some magic in Kigali. Cheers to you Miss!!!

Jan, That's far too much credit, Kigali oozes magic by itself... but thank you for the kind words, we are so glad you enjoyed our *free yoga class* one of the Wednesdays that you were in town! It was a joy meeting you and practicing with you. Come back soon!
Yokigali ist a secrete gem when it comes to hotels in Kigali.
I can recommend to anyone who enjoys a calm, clean and warm hearted experience. It is a bit like going on a retreat.
The hotel has a beautiful view with a terrace that invites for relaxation, enjoying a fragrant coffee (with beautiful late art) and good chats.
Talking about good chats, Emma the owner was so lovely, making sure everything is all right!
The rooms were clean, with comfortable beds. They have a cleaning and washing service so everything is taken care of!
Finally the food was healthy and yummy, leaving you with a feeling of healthy fullness!
I can highly recommend this hotel!

YokiGali is a truly special place to spend a few days or a week in Kigali. We were warmly welcomed by Emma and her wonderful staff.
The accommodation is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable, the complimentary evening yoga classes are a great bonus. the spa, massage and waxing professional and on the premises.
Our vehicle and clothes were washed and returned spotless, all part of the service and a delight.
The food and coffee are delicious.
Thank you Emma for a great stay.

Discovered a hidden gem in town—YO ki GA li! The vibe here is seriously chill, perfect for getting work done on your laptop or just unwinding with a coffee and a killer view. Their lunch menu is delicious, and I can’t wait to check out their yoga classes soon. Highly recommend stopping by!

a review from a local guide, what an honor! thank you for the visit and yes, please come back Jeffrey.
My stay at YO ki GA li was absolutely incredible!
From the moment I arrived, Emma made me feel at home, making my first trip to Kigali unforgettable. I spent six blissful days indulging in daily yoga sessions with breathtaking views, sipping on some of the best coffee I've ever had in Africa, and savoring delicious vegetarian and gluten-free meals that were both healthy and delightful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every detail was thoughtfully curated. The internet speed was impressive, making it perfect for digital nomads.
If you're looking for a place to relax, rejuvenate, and experience the beauty of Kigali, I highly recommend YO ki GA li. I can't wait to return to those stunning views!
Thanks for having me! The comfortable beds were a highlight—I haven't slept on such a high-quality bed in a long time. This is truly a perfect spot for both relaxation and work.

we definitely do. the point of our skeleton logo is that at the core, we are all the same. not all disabilities are visible or obvious, and the goal is for everyone to feel like YO ki GA li is their home. 🤍 thanks for this, Beth.
