What To Expect

Kigali

Our drive/ guide will pick you from from your provided location

Kigali Genocide Memorial

Your driver-guide will take you to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a powerful and somber site that honors the victims of the 1994 genocide. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it serves as a place of remembrance, education, and reflection on Rwanda’s history. Entry is free, but for a deeper understanding, an audio guide is available for $20—an insightful addition that also helps support the memorial’s work. Please remember to dress appropriately for this solemn visit.

Mt. Kigali

On Mount Kigali, you’ll enjoy a peaceful escape from the city with stunning panoramic views of Kigali. The experience includes a scenic drive or hike to the top, where you can take in the fresh air and capture breathtaking photos. Along the way, you’ll see local farms, grazing animals, and sometimes even cyclists training on the winding roads. At the summit, relax at a hilltop café or explore a horseback riding center for a unique adventure.

It’s the perfect place to experience Rwanda’s creativity firsthand and take home a meaningful souvenir that supports local talent.

The driver was friendly and patient. We ate at the car free zone and got some souvenir paintings at the Pottery shop. The visit at the Genocide Memorial was a unique, lifetime experience. I admire the resilience and capacity of forgiveness of the people of Rwanda. Other countries have a lot to learn from Rwanda.
