What To Expect
Kigali Genocide Memorial
Our driver will pick you from your hotel in Kigali at 09h00 am, short briefing about your Kigali city tour, and start with a visit to the sobering Kigali Genocide Memorial. Kigali Genocide Memorial site in Gisozi, a place of remembrance and learning, and to honor victims of genocide against the Tutsi and ensure that it never happens again. The Kigali Genocide Memorial is the final resting place for more than 250,000 victims of the genocide against the Tutsi. Here you will be able to visit the three permanent exhibitions, the largest of which documents the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. There is also a children's memorial and exhibition on the history of genocidal violence around the world. The education centre, gardens, and genocide archive of Rwanda form part of a meaningful tribute to those who perished, and provide a powerful educational tool for visitors.
Kigali
Ideally in the centre of Rwanda, Kigali extends across several hills and valleys, with good road links to the rest of the country. The verdant capital city is pleasantly low key yet dynamic and progressive, with just over one million inhabitants. First-time visitors to the bustling and colorful centre often remark how clean the streets are, a matter of pride across every community throughout the country. Kigali is relatively new city. It was founded as an administrative outpost in 1907, and became the capital of the country at independence in 1962, shifting focus away from Huye. Kigali is developing rapidly, with new shopping malls, office buildings and a world-class convention centre built in the style of the King's Palace of olden days, which lights up the night sky atop of one of the many hills.

5.00Dan was really gracious, waited for us as we we were a little late and showed us around the city. We went to the Genocide memorial, Hotel Rwanda, we saw a local market and local fashion designer. We had lunch with the best view in the city, you do not wanna miss this experience. Thanks Dan
Being in Kigali felt like a learning experience for me, maybe because of the showcase Rwanda built around the genocide

5.00I enjoyed our tour of the city. What I loved most about it was how enthusiastic our tour guide, Daniel was. We had a well informed guide of how the city came about, what each places were, what happened there and what to do around the town. This was my first experience having a tour guide and he made it memorable.
Beautiful

4.00It was really exciting and beautiful touring Kigali with the team! We had great conversations around both countries. The support system provided was great but would be awesome if they had additional multiple means of payments for the nice treats offered.
