"This is a fascinating and well curated museum.

It is very difficult to understand the Rwandan genocide but it finally made sense after a visit to this museum, which traces in detail the historic roots of the divisions and propaganda which led to this terrible event. It is also an excellent insight into other genocides and transitional justice issues.

The memorial and film are very moving." Read more about this whole safari

"It was eye-opening to finally visit the Genocide Memorial and learn about Rwanda's past.

I'm most impressed by how resilient the country and Rwandan people are, at moving forward and paving a viable development path.

We met incredible people everywhere in Rwanda and their warmth and kindness really touched me.

We had so much fun with our driver (Ismail), he was so considerate and really made sure that we had the best time!" Read more about this whole safari

"Our Kigali tour was heart wrenching at times but it's so important to show the history of the country.

Kigali and Rwanda in general has defied the odds and transformed itself in a success story.

It's natural beauty, warm and welcoming people and commitment to sustainability are amazing.

I don't think we saw a single piece of litter during our stay." Read more about this whole safari

"Glad we went to to the memorial but a heartbreaking place.

We went at the end of our trip and I think we were better to understand than if we went at the beginning" Read more about this whole safari

"The Genocide Memorial is a sad yet hopeful. It is heartbreaking to see the images and artifacts of the victims of the genocide, yet the Memorial is beautiful. It is remarkable that the atrocities were less than 30 years ago considering how far Rwanda has come. Although it was difficult learning so much about this tragic past, it is very important to the Rwandans that they share this history and pay respect to those victims. It is certainly a must-visit on the Kigali city tour.

The city tour is interesting. The traffic is crazy!! The motorbike taxis make their own traffic rules so it certainly was interesting.

The Rwandan people left such an impression on us. They work very hard and many have very humble lives but they're such kind, warm, and gracious people. They're so happy! Our guide, Afrika, was funny, friendly and so very informative. He shared so much about Rwanda and its people and culture with us. He took amazing care of us the entire time we were with him and his tour exceeded any expectation we had of what our Rwandan experience would be. He became a friend in just the short time we spent with him." Read more about this whole safari
