Kigali Genocide Memorial

The Kigali Genocide Memorial in Kigali, Rwanda stands as a poignant tribute to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Inaugurated on the genocide's 10th anniversary, this memorial at Gisozi honors the 250,000 lives lost and educates on the atrocities of the 20th century genocides.

The ongoing project, the Wall of Names, commemorates the deceased, with many names still awaiting documentation. The memorial gardens offer a serene space for reflection on the genocide's history, urging us all to take personal responsibility in preventing discrimination and mass atrocities.

Moreover, the center extends support to survivors, especially orphans and widows, embodying Rwanda's commitment to peace, reconciliation, and combating genocidal ideologies. Visit and bookmark our page for more information on the Kigali Genocide Memorial and its vital mission.

Day 5: 16-Jun-2026

Bwindi to Kigali Airport For travelers looking to get from Bwindi to Kigali Airport, there are various transportation options available including private transfers, shared shuttles, and public buses. The journey can take approximately 4-6 hours depending on the chosen mode of transport and border crossing procedures. Private transfers offer a convenient and comfortable way to travel directly to Kigali Airport without any stops along the way. Shared shuttles are another popular choice, providing a more cost-effective option for those willing to share the ride with other passengers. On the other hand, public buses are the most budget-friendly but can be less comfortable and may take longer due to multiple stops and potential delays at the border. It's essential to factor in sufficient time for crossing the border between Uganda and Rwanda.

Get ready to embark on an exhilarating journey after a leisurely breakfast, as you bid farewell to your accommodation and venture towards Kigali. Your heart will be racing with excitement and anticipation as you head to the airport, reflecting on the incredible memories you've made during your trip.
