Auberge Bel Air Kimironko

Where do hard knock prison wardens go to unwind and reflect on the nature of the people that they keep in custody?

In case those in custody are mainly suspected murderers, that place must posses more attractive packages than a normal recreational joint.
In your mind the figment there could be a low flowing river down the plains of undulating hills, covered by green flat savannah grass and a few lone trees scattered about,
Save for the river, the rest of your imagination suits exactly auberge Bel air right behind Kimironko prison.

The guest house or Auberge as it is known throughout Kimironko, is a quite spacious and secluded expansive garden thrown almost at the furthest end of Kimironko, it offers guest rooms, meals, conference facilities, a sparsely stocked by friendly priced bar and camping facilities to backpackers.



Bel Air is the perfect place for a get away from all the noise of the city, the prison, situated about 400 metres from the guest house is conspicuous by its silence, as early as 6pm, the night sound of the humming night birds is audible, while the beautiful mango trees are a favourite for ‘looking in the eyes’ romantic dates.

There’s simply no other perfect place for senior officials of the prison also to unwind, walking on the well maintained gardens one cannot help but wonder why such a gem is hidden this far from a larger clientele.
But reports in the area allege that the Auberge is hidden for tactical purposes, it is rumoured that this Kigali beauty is a favourite place for any one interested in ‘one night stands’.
