CocktailThe order of the day. Doors at Intare Conference Arena open at 18h00 and dinner follows. If you plan to join the church service, please be seated at the chapel by 12h45.
What to expect in August. Kigali is dry and mild at this time of year, around 26°C by day and cooler in the evening. A light layer for after sunset is a good idea.
Getting there. If you would like help with a driver between the chapel and Intare Arena, Sandra can arrange it — her number is below.

If Karongi had to be distilled to one word, that word would be serenity. A place of great family significance and memories, and it is there, on the shores of Lake Kivu, that the Gusaba took place.
