Could you be a bit more specific when you say Kigali is "safe"?
Is it safe for me to move to as a woman? Is it safe for me to bring my wife and kids? These things are often relative.

My business partner, Eric, moved his family here, two young kids and his wife. Moving at night, even as a woman is very safe and commonplace in most parts of Kigali. It really is ridiculously safe here by any standard.
As an example, I am much less concerned about female friends of mine walking around alone at night in Kigali than I am my neighborhood back home in Seattle. (granted I lived in the CD which is higher crime, but still)
Is it safe for me, a woman, to visit there with my wife and kids? We've ruled out most of Africa in our globe trotting, but have really missed it.
I would say if you are visiting it wouldn't be a problem, definitely wouldn't worry from a safety point of view. If you were planning on moving here then I honestly probably wouldn't recommend it, not because of safety, but just that you would be going against the grain.
