Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where over 250,000 victims of the 1994 Rwanda genocide were laid to rest. While the site is an honored place of remembrance of the genocide victims, it also explains the process of reconciliation and how fast Rwanda is amazingly growing. From here, you will set off for Musanze, arriving in time for lunch. Check in to your lodge, have lunch, and later head to the gorilla guardians village for a cultural experience that offers insight into Rwanda’s culture, including the cultural dance and drama and the traditional wedding ceremony.
