GENOCIDE SITES

Country forums / Africa / Rwanda

i would like to travel to The republic of Rwanda to visit the genocide site. Kindly advice me on how to go about it.
Merci beaucoup et bonne journee.

Get a plane ticket to Kigali and go. The genocide museum is smack in the middle of the city. It's pretty straight-forward.

It is not in the middle of the city, but in a suburb called Gisozi. Any taxi driver will know it, but you can walk there too.
Elsewhere in the country there are many more genocide memorial sites, see:

But don't forget, Rwanda is more than just a genocide site...
It's important to "Never forget", but it's also important not to get stuck on the past.
