Have your breakfast at leisure. If the results were out negative, you're clear to resume your tour. Your driver-guide will pick you up from the hotel reception to drive you for Kigali Genocide Memorial museum.
Kigali Genocide Memorial
This is an extremely moving, challenging, educational, and ultimately inspiring memorial and a great place to understand the cause, tragedy, and successful rebuilding post-genocide. The reconciliation and rebuilding have been miraculous, and these memorials are built to inform, educate and prevent such a tragedy to ever occur again.
The tour is very transparent and educational but very somber and humbling when you realize that over 250,000 deceased are buried on the site of the memorial. Guaranteed you will feel every emotion during this visit.
The most common question that goes through your mind is “would I be capable of that level of forgiveness if I found myself in this situation.” That’s a true inspiration.
After this activity, we will transfer embark on our vehicle for our 2.5 hours scenic transfer to Volcanoes National Park.
