About time in Kigali
Kigali keeps Central Africa Time, UTC+2 from UTC all year. The offset never changes, so any difference between you and Kigali moves only when your own clocks do.
Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
