Day 1: Welcome In Kigali - Tour briefing and transfer to Volcanoes National Park

Welcome to Kigali, Rwanda. Our tour representative and your driver/guide will meet you at the Kigali International Airport. After a short briefing, we stop in town for some coffee and thereafter proceeding to Kigali Genocide Memorial.

Kigali Genocide memorial experience is extremely moving, challenging, educational and ultimately inspiring. The tour is very transparent and educational but very sombre and humbling when you realize that over 25,000 deceased are buried on the site of the memorial. Guaranteed you will feel every emotion during this visit.
After the visit at the genocide memorial, you will embark on your safari vehicle and drive to Musanze for a 2.5 hours scenic transfer to Volcanoes National Park which takes in some stunning views of the Land of a Thousand Hills. Arriving in Volcanoes National Park, we will take you to your hotel check in, freshen up and relax with the Hotel facilities.
