"This is a sobering and important memorial to the terrible genocide of 1994.

Extremely moving and informative.

An important place to visit to try to understand the horrific trauma that Rwanda suffered 30 years ago" Read more about this whole safari

"Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit review"

Based at Kigali Serena Hotel on 15 Aug 2024
"Kigali is a lovely city, and the tour gave us a good first view of it.

We saw the modern, prosperous city, with its tree lined boulevards, interesting architecture, new housing developments and plenty of open spaces. We also saw the older, much more crowded and less prosperous areas, and very much enjoyed going through the old commercial centre with all its hustle and bustle. We marvelled at the way all the traffic seemed to flow well and at the ability of the motorbikes to weave in and out - everyone seemed very tolerant. Everywhere was impressively tidy, with no litter, and people were always smiling. London could learn a lot from Kigali!

The visit to the Genocide Memorial was very sobering, but at the same time it is beautiful. We are very pleased that we had time to make this essential visit. We used the headsets rather than reading the boards. They were very clear and really enhanced our appreciation of events." Read more about this whole safari

" A must visit when in Kigali. "

Based at Kigali Serena Hotel on 2 Jul 2024
"A very sobering reminder of the atrocities that took place here many years ago.

While the memorial documents this horrible time, it is also a symbol of a country and people that has healed itself. Many lessons here that we need to be constantly reminded of.

Please take the time while in Kigali to visit the memorial. It is truly time well spent." Read more about this whole safari

"The Memorial brings home vividly the reality of the genocide.

Everyone - or at least, every adult - should visit it, if only to gain some understanding of how the people were (and continue to be) affected." Read more about this whole safari
