Kigali Memorials & Akagera National Park
Spend two days understanding Kigali and its genocide history, followed by a safari in Akagera.
Dedicate the first two days to Kigali: the city center, Nyamirambo neighborhood, two church memorial sites in the southern suburbs, and art centers. Spend the next two days in Akagera, taking an afternoon boat cruise on Lake Ihema and a game drive on the northern plains early the next morning. This route does not require a gorilla permit, making it more budget-friendly and ideal for those transiting or attending conferences in Kigali. Note that the memorial sites are emotionally heavy, so consider this if traveling with children.
During the dry season (June–September), animals gather around water sources. The rainy season has taller grass but offers better birdwatching opportunities.
