On this day, you will have breakfast at leisure, check out and go visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Here, over 256,000 victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi were laid to rest as a sign of respect to their bodies. Thereafter, enjoy a scenic drive to Musanze, the lush gateway to the Volcanoes National Park. Along the way, take in the breathtaking views of Rwanda’s rolling hills and vibrant countryside. Upon arrival, check in and settle into the elegant comforts of your lodge.
