"Must go when you travel to Rwanda. Very moving and impressive.
Gives good background on the issue, with enough nuance on a very delicate and complicated matter." Read more about this whole safari

"City & Genocide Memorial Tour review"
Based at Kigali Serena Hotel on 25 Sep 2018
"I had already done a city tour by the time I met Safari, so we went straight to the genocide museum. The museum is very well done; the content is harrowing. The gardens are peaceful and encourage reflection.
It was interesting to hear from Safari, and to have him answer my questions." Read more about this whole safari

Based at Hotel des Mille Collines on 22 Sep 2018
"Interesting.
Did not like the gardens. They were not properly maintained, and we thought the concepts a bit silly.
Although our flights determined when we visited, I would very much recommend seeing this at the start of a Rwanda trip." Read more about this whole safari

"Harrowing but essential"
Based at Kigali Serena Hotel on 24 Aug 2018
"I spent about 3 hours at the genocide Museum. The displays and voice overs are in English and French. I had an audio guide which was excellent.
The whole experience was very moving.
As well as the displays about the genocide against the Tutsis and its origins and consequences there is an exhibition about genocides in other countries and their origins." Read more about this whole safari

We weren't sure we wanted to do it but overall the memorial was well executed and very informative.
We also enjoyed the craft market on this tour." Read more about this whole safari

"Awesome memorial outside museum"
Based at Hotel des Mille Collines on 18 Aug 2018
"The memorial and burial outside in the garden is beautiful.
I was a little disappointed by the actual museum, and I feel like I learned more with the help of my guides throughout the trip and with local people." Read more about this whole safari
