Artisanal Soapmaking in Kigali

This is not a typical workshop. It is a cultural ritual you participate in. Most travelers visit Rwanda for landscapes and wildlife. Very few experience its botanical heritage through their own hands. In this workshop, you do not just observe. You formulate, blend, and pour your own soap using locally sourced ingredients such as local coffee, bitter leaf ,Rwandan basil, aloe vera, hibiscus and local clays. Every ingredient carries a story rooted in land, healing, and tradition. What makes this experience distinct: You craft a product yourself rather than watching a demonstration You learn the cultural meaning behind each botanical You engage directly with a local, woman-led clean beauty brand You leave with something you created, not something mass-produced It is immersive, intimate, and sensory. If you are looking for an authentic Kigali experience beyond sightseeing, this is a meaningful way to connect with Rwanda’s culture through beauty, storytelling, and craftsmanship.
