Mount Rebero Viewpoint & Memorial
Rebero
A high ground in southern Kigali with views over the city's hills. On the hill is the Rebero Memorial, where political figures murdered in 1994 are buried.
Rebero Hill lies in Kicukiro District at an altitude of about 1,600 m. It is a popular spot for viewing the panorama of Kigali, the “City of a Thousand Hills,” and in the evening you can watch the city lights come on one by one. On the hilltop is the Rebero Genocide Memorial, where about 14,000 victims are buried, including opposition political figures killed in 1994. There is also an open-air amphitheatre that hosts performances from time to time. You can take a taxi straight up the hill, watch the sunset, and then have dinner at a nearby restaurant. Please remain quiet and respectful inside the memorial.
