Why Kigali, Rwanda, Should Be More Than a Layover Before Your Gorilla Safari

"No visit to Kigali (or Rwanda in general) is complete without a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Give yourself at least an hour to wind your way through the permanent collection, which integrates photography and video with personal accounts of the genocide from survivors. An outdoor garden and burial site acts as the final resting place for more than 250,000 victims of the devastating event that saw more than 800,000 Rwandans killed."

Very well done memorial to honor the victims of the Rwanda Genocide. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with the sadness of what happened. It's impossible to understand how people could turn against each other in this way.

It's a place where you cannot come out unscathed. Impossible!!!! What happened here is beyond human imagination. Only God knows. On a positive note though, it's amazing to see how the people have healed, reintegrated and moved on. It teaches you forgiveness is possible. It is divine and humanly possible too, I just witnessed it. Well done on refinding one another and preferring peace to anarchy and violence. Choosing to build y our country. May God bless you even more

Very moving & emotion visit...The images & videos inside are very powerful...sometimes extremely difficult to look at ( out of respect filming & photos are not permitted inside the building's main museum) The site is also a final resting place in them for many Rwandan remains for the 1994 Genocide

Very moving. Just another senseless tragedy that spans generations in our awful world. There's no cost, it's just recommended to donate at the end. If you end up using the audio guide it's a strongly suggested donation of $20 usd or 30000 rwf..

Go there's with some emotional preparation as this place will move your soul. The memorial captures the brutal memories of the past so poignantly that one can't stop the tears flowing from their eyes. Every section of the memorial is such a haunting reminder to the history of this beautiful country. I would love to go there again sometime soon.

The Kigali genocide memorial offers chilling details of the event of 1994. You get firsthand information and it's a good avenue to learn and remember what really happened. But it doesn't stop there, it shows how much progress Rwanda had made in just three decades after that event.

Historical place; also quite humbling. Pictures are not allowed inside the memorial out of respect. No charge to access the location. Voluntary contributions can be made. The 'auditory guides' can be rented for a fee, if one requires an auditory guided tour.

Very moving and informative museum. Self guided and paced so you can take as much time as you need. The room with the pictures of the victims was heartbreaking.
