Kigali City & Genocide Memorial Day Tour

The Kigali City & Genocide Memorial Day Tour is a thoughtful full-day introduction to Rwanda’s capital, combining a visit to the deeply moving Kigali Genocide Memorial with the city’s viewpoints, lively local markets, and a Rwandan lunch. It’s designed for first-time visitors and travellers with a single free day who want to understand Rwanda’s history and experience its vibrant present.

You’ll travel in a private vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver-guide, with flexible hotel or airport pickup and drop-off. Kigali is renowned as one of Africa’s cleanest, safest, and most welcoming capitals, and this tour offers a rounded, respectful sense of both the country’s past and its remarkable renewal.

What to expect

The Kigali Genocide Memorial is a place of remembrance and education, honouring the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and offering essential context for understanding modern Rwanda; your guide will accompany you with sensitivity. The day also takes in city viewpoints across the famous hills, a visit to a bustling local market such as Kimironko, a Rwandan lunch, and a craft or cultural stop.
