What To Expect
Kigali Genocide Memorial
Join us on a tour unlike any other, where history unfolds before your eyes, and the echoes of Rwanda's past resonate significantly here. Admission is free at this location, inviting you to immerse yourself in a solemn yet transformative experience. Here, amidst the solemnity, you'll encounter the profound narrative of Rwanda's history, from its pre-genocide era to the events that shaped its destiny. Through guided exploration, heartfelt narratives, and poignant descriptions, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the nation's journey and the resilience of its people. Drawing parallels with sites of historical significance worldwide, including Germany, Japan, Cambodia, and Bosnia, our tour offers a unique perspective on the universal human experience. Unlike ex-concentration camps like Auschwitz Birkenau, this Rwanda site preserves not only the memories but also the physical remnants of tragedy—human remains and the tools of destruction, bearing witness to the atrocities of the past.
Mt. Kigali
At Mount Kigali, Rwanda's rich history converges to create an unforgettable experience. As you ascend, verdant forests and melodious birdcalls accompany your journey. At the summit, a breathtaking panorama of Kigali unfolds, offering a glimpse into the city's vibrant spirit and rapid development. Yet, amidst this splendor, lies a poignant reminder of Rwanda's past—the Nyabarongo River, where the atrocities of the genocide occurred. Here, nature's serenity juxtaposes with the somber echoes of history, inviting reflection and remembrance. Mount Kigali is not just a scenic escape; it's a pathway to introspection and enlightenment. Each step taken amidst its trails is a testament to the resilience and the enduring beauty of Rwanda's landscape and people. So, why Mount Kigali? Because here, amidst towering peaks and sweeping vistas, you'll embark on a journey that transcends the ordinary—a journey of discovery and profound connection. Come, let Mount Kigali leave an indelible mark on YOU

5.00Jerry Jeremiah from Kigali Tours was amazing and very personable. He was very patient with us and answered every question to the best of his ability. He was very knowledgeable about the different parts of Kigali and told us safari stories. Throughout the day me and wife went to Genocide Museum, Art Gallery, and the Kimironko Market. With Jerry’s help we were able to navigate every step of the way. He made us feel comfortable and highly recommended him if you need a tour of Kigali, Rwanda.

5.00Great day out exploring Kigali. The traffic was hectic and has to be taken into account. Also make sure you know what you want to see so you can prioritize as you won’t get to see everything on the itinerary.
