Reviews: Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit

"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 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

"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
