Kigali Genocide Memorial

Tania Akter (Sumi):“Visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial was a deeply moving and powerful experience. It offers a profound reflection on Rwanda’s history, honoring the lives lost while inspiring hope through reconciliation and peace. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, emotional, and educational—shedding light on the strength of the Rwandan people. It's a place of remembrance, learning, and healing. If you're in Kigali, this memorial is a must-visit to truly understand the resilience of a nation.”

华。埃米尔:“Gissini's Kivu Lake is wide, with many islands in the water, clear water quality and multiple beaches for play. This lake seven kilometers away from the town center is quiet and there are many high-end hotels around. It is a good place for family and children, couples and friends to gather.”

139***60:“I think Rwanda is still a very underdeveloped country. There are several paintings in this art center that I think are good. They all depict various animals on the African savannah. Zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes are all very vivid.”
Bisoke Hike Volcanoes National Park

Opening hours: 06:00-17:30
Ban Mohamed:“Without a doubt, the number one thing to do in Rwanda is gorilla trekking at Volcanoes National Park. Sharing a border with Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this national park in Rwanda is home to a growing number of critically endangered mountain gorillas.”

Museums
Opening hours: 08:00-17:00
Vanessa Meng:“The Rwandan Museum of Art was rebuilt from the former presidential palace and has lived in two presidents. It was mentioned in the "Rwanda Hotel" that the president who was blown up by the then Vice President on the plane was the last one to live here. Inside are more than 100 artists'works of art about Rwanda's tortuous history and current development and construction. Rwanda has experienced three massacres, mostly caused by ethnic issues, and now there is only one ethnic group in Rwanda, the Rwandans. She is surrounded by Congo, Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. These four countries are bigger than her, and their resources and location are also superior to her. Today, the existence of such a country in a crack is closely related to the obedience of its leaders and people. According to friends, the current president first helped Uganda to become independent, and then returned with his army to Rwanda, which was still in civil strife at that time, to calm the war. During this period, Congo fought two battles hundreds of times as many as her. The battlefields were in Congo and all of them won. They had to say that their troops were really super-powerful. Today, there are still four presidents in African countries who rely on Rwandan troops to defend their security. This should be the legendary "mercenary".”
