More than 250,000 victims of the horrible genocide were laid to rest here, and it is currently an honored place of remembrance for these victims. The tour offers a chance to deeply understand how Rwanda was affected by the genocide and how amazingly it has grown and developed. From here, you will set off to Nyungwe National Park, where you will arrive in the evening. Optional visit of the King’s Palace in Nyanza.
