Rwanda in 4 days?

Country forums / Africa / Uganda

Hi, I'll be spending a couple of weeks in Uganda before I arrive in the southern part of the country with about 5 days to either relax or possibly head further south to Rwanda. Is it worthwhile to make a quick trip south to Kagali and checkout a little bit of Rwanda? If you think it is a good idea, what should I consider doing while in the country? Cheers....

Though the landscapes are amazing, I found Kigali to be a bit boring. The genocide memorial is impressive. Another option is going south to Burundi. Much more 'African' than Rwanda, in my opinion.

I suppose you are travelling from Lake Bunyoni / Kabale?
