This memorial is a must visit when in Kigali. At first I was reluctant to go because of the horrors it memorializes but I'm now glad I went. There are both inside displays and outside memorials to visit. The lead up, events, aftermath, effect and outlook are all well presented here so allow a couple of hours. What an incredible experience! You need 1.5hrs to 2 hrs at this museum. The lay out of the museum is self-explanatory, with reading in English, some French and The local language available. Do take a walk outside at the memorial tombstones. Here we recommend asking a guide such as: Claude Mugabe who is a survivor or similar, to share their story and the importance of why we should remember and revisit these places. It really rounds off the whole experience getting a guide for this portion. Take a coffee afterwards at the coffee shop, it takes time to get these drinks. The graphics and information can be overwhelming.

I arrived in Kigali on a Friday morning, had some rest at my Hotel and later moved out to enjoy the serenity of the City, I reached the Memorial after closing time and was advised to go back the next day. Very early on Saturday, I grabbed a bike to the Memorial and was welcomed by the Security, went through the security procedure and then to the Memorial reception where I was also welcomed. I was asked if I needed the Audio version of the Genocide victims but I am not someone who really likes things in my ears so side no, politely. To note THE Audio costs around 30 USD, which in my opinion is fair. Since I had said no to the, I asked the receptionist if touring the place is free and guess what, yeah it's totally free. But in case any one wants to Donate to the Memorial, that is also ok. I forgot to tell you, I was there with other visitors, from other parts of the world, and we ushered into a room with a big screen to show us, how it all started, survival stories, and rehabilitation. We then moved into the Memorial building "museum", where there are some weapons that were used, photos, stories of the genocide started, those who died, pictures of victims, from old people to the children. It was a bit terrifying and almost tears came out of my eyes. I moved around, the mass graves, the open graves, the amphitheater, The flame of remembrance, the Rose gardens and the peace school. I took some shots attached, it's a great place to Visit if you are interested in Learning about the Rwanda Genocide. However, kindly take of the time the Memorial opens and closes 9: 00AM to 4:00PM, My first visit on Friday I reached there after 4:00 PM and was advised to come back the next day which was Saturday.

A definite must-go place when in Rwanda 🇷🇼 As a student of life, I was taken to another level with what I learnt. You come out a changed person. The experience of just going through the Memorial was exceptional!

Beautiful experience. I can honestly say i came out a changed person. The whole visit is an experience every person visiting rwanda should go to. They have an audio assistant to help you through the museum. The visit is free but you can always donate towards their cause. I would definitely recommend.

It's a beautiful venue with a really sad rehash. It was nice to learn about their history and to see how far they have come. When you visit there and hear the story of how things brewed, you'll know how powerful ethnic division can be. I would recommend this visit for every person of African origin

You absolutely need to go there when you visit this town. It’s not easy to see all this tragedy but at the end you can show how peace re enter this beautiful country. You can drink something in the restaurant at the end of your visit. And it’s totally free ( you can take an audio guide if your want).

It really opened my eyes to the acts of genocide in Rwanda. This was a horrific time of loss and sorrow. To know that murders happened several times years before the bloodiest 100 days. It was terrible to learn the U.N. pulled out the country completely, knowing that killings were rampant and no other nation stepped in to help the citizens. Lest not EVER forget those lost due to the henious acts of genocide. Remember the past to prevent such acts from occurring in the future.🙏🏾

You cannot leave Kigali without visiting the museum. What a way to tell the story of a country that has risen above all the pain and terror. Have your tissue and hankies handy. So many lives lost to evil propaganda. The story starts at the very beginning of colonisation to the reconciliation process. Not to be missed. Lessons to be learned...major one is we are all human...First. there were evil religious leaders who killed innocents and there were heroic religious leaders who saved. In the end, it is not our religion or tribe that matters...but our humanity. This fact has driven the policies of Rwanda especially on religion, which i wish can be applied to my country... Entrance is free..They simply asked for donations. They also asked that if you must take photos, you should also donate. I could not take photos of so many things. Gosh..not sure I could. But I took of some quotes on the walls. We are all one.

Emotional! Thought provoking! You have heard stories or read something about it, but visiting the memorial in person brings the point to the heart. Coming from a country with active conflict and ethnic tension it made me reflect more.

Emotional museum I have ever visited. Greatest lesson I learnt from the visit was that, genocide is not the 1 million people killed on ecinity lines, it's the first person killed and we should all be ready to against it. Journalists who spread propaganda, are more dangerous than the devil himself.

Having visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial, I am deeply moved by the profound significance of this place. The memorial stands as a powerful testament to the resilience of the Rwandan people and a solemn tribute to the victims of the 1994 genocide. The museum's well-curated exhibits, informative displays, and heart-wrenching personal stories provide a comprehensive and impactful understanding of the tragic events that unfolded during that dark period of history. Visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial is an essential experience for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of Rwanda's past and its journey towards healing and reconciliation. The serene garden, final resting place of thousands, serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of hatred and intolerance, while also inspiring hope for a future built on unity and understanding. The memorial's dedication to education, remembrance, and honoring the memory of those lost is commendable, making it one of the highlight places to visit in Rwanda. It prompts visitors to reflect on the importance of fostering tolerance, promoting peace, and working towards preventing such atrocities from ever happening again.

An absolutely must visit place during Rwanda visit. It is horrifying to see what happened in Rwanda in 1994. - There is no entry fees - No registration required - All the information is in Kinyarwanda and in English language. If you don’t understand any of these language then you can take audio device of different languages at the reception with some minimal charges. - Cafe & Gift shop is present inside

Very informative and sheds light into the history of Rwanda. It’s a must see place when visiting this country. Not going to lie, it’s a heart wrenching experience so bring tissues.

Very informative museum covering all areas of the Rwandan genocide including the build up and aftermath. It gets pretty explicit in some parts so be advised. The outside houses the remains of many victims.

My visit here was emotional. This is a must-visit for those who always fan the ember of war using tribe and religious sentiments. May we never experience this again. May Peace reign around the globe. Never again.

It was very insightful. I got to learn about what happened hearing their stories told by them. The videos made a great impression written articles would not make.

I am glad I got the chance to visit this museum. It was very well done and comprehensive. You dont need a tour guide if you want to use the audio recording because of how it was designed. It was a humbling, sobering and, at times, hard to watch experience because of the reality it presents what was happening on the ground. I took my time to go around the museum and learned a lot. I will recommend this place for anyone wondering to understand how Rwanda truly arose from the ashes!

It actually amazed me how an incident was turned to a lasting memory and a form of tourist attraction. Big kudos to Aegis, the UN and the Rwandan government. Entrance is free (as at my visit in January 2024) but do come with cash for the audio guide. The guide sounds trivial at first but without the narrations in it, you won't get to understand and live the journey. There's a gift shop if you want to take home some Rwanda awesomeness 😎 And yes, your own way of supporting the project. May the souls of the departed rest in peace 🕊️ #kwibuka29

It is another one of the art centres in Kigali, focusing on local pieces of art. The place is on two floors and there is a very good collection to enjoy. However, their attitude in running the place should change. There is no entrance fee, but your donation amount is decided for you. It is not nice to tell the visitors that you have to pay $30 to take photos. The amount of donation should be left at the discretion of the visitor.

A nice gallery set in a house with modern painting and a fun garden with sculptures. The visit takes about 15mn. The fact that this gallery is on the ‘to do list’ of Kigali says more about the limited number of attractions in the capital than about this gallery…

Inema Arts Gallery is a must visit if you’re in Kigali, Rwanda. It’s a beautiful small space, with revolutionary art pieces which you can buy🙌🏾. I loved that they had a cafe in the space where you can have coffee and cocktails and discuss artsy topics if one of the brothers who own the gallery are around lol! Or with your friends.

Another of these now numerous art centers in Kigali featuring low quality art at an extreme overprice, an arrogant owner, a cafe and support to the local community initiative. Generally messy and unkept cafe area and garden. Not sure who actually pays these prices for the paintings, but like the other art centers in Kigali the business model seems to be working judging from the 2 land rovers in the parking.

Small art gallery with cool paintings and sculptures. It also has a cute cafe in the garden where you can chill but it wasn't operating when I visited.

This place is simply amazing. If you are a true art lover then you are going to enjoy this beautiful place.

It's a vibrant hub for film, art, and cultural exchange. Whether you're a die-hard cinephile or simply seeking a unique and enriching experience, this center has something for everyone.

We really enjoyed Inema arts centre. We were able to meet Innocente (Founder and artist) and Kenneth (artist). The works were really beautiful and all quite different. The surroundings are lovely. Definitely a nice place to visit.

The staff were amazingly friendly. They let us take pictures and were really helpful in general. The art pictures are really intriguing. They currently have an amazing "tech gorilla" at the center and its just magnificent 👌. There is a cosy coffee place inside too. I would definitely visit again

Lovely place with lovely art promoting local artists and training orphaned children and those living around the community. The latte I had at the cafe was also very good and every part of the center was artistic. There were local artsy items on display for sale like ornaments, bags etc and various collections from all around Africa There was a dance and song practice by the children in the evening also.

Friendly and welcoming. This gallery started the art movement here in Rwanda 10 years ago and gave birth to all other galleries in Kigali. Of all the galleries I visited, the art here is priced the most aggressively with sticker shock up to $50,000 USD per piece. Some nice pieces for sure. Come and give Inema a look and enjoy a coffee at their cafe.

Entry at Inema Arts Gallery is FREE. You get to see some very nice artwork from Creative artists. The best day to go is Thursday afternoon to evening coz they have a the local Rwandan Dance. The Inema Coffee Shop also has happy hour. You can also buy art to take home with you.

Beautifully preserved memorial. The visit is a moment to learn, mourn, reflect, and marvel at the resilience of the Rwandan people as they work towards a brighter future for the whole country.

Evidence of the atrocities are preserved here in the church and outbuildings where thousands died. Really harrowing accounts of the deathes of innocents, especially the torture of women and the smashing of babies against the wall. In the Kigali Genocide Memorial there are photographs of decomposed bodies in the church, so seeing those photos after visiting the Ntarama site was a shocking.

Historical, reminds me of how humanity is precious and how we should not take peace for granted, I love that the facility has build a brand new building and the remains of the victims are properly stored in coffins.

A very sad place where genocide took place. The site has been preserved as much as possible, rather than turning into a typical museum. The church still holds the clothes and belongings of the victims. Some of the details are harrowing, such as vissible blood stains on walls and how they got there, but it is important to learn about this. Excellent and informative guide who takes an academic approach to the tour.

Impressive place that has clear insight into the horror of the 1994 genocide. This place is not for everyone as human remains are on display. The guide was one of the best we have had in Rwanda.

It's is very well organized and we had an amazing tour and explanation about the genocide

Place where our history sleep 😭😭😭😭😭 Remember Unite Renew

Very nice experience, the artists gave us a very welcoming tour. Various art styles that you will enjoy and they are very much affordable They also have a cafe Highy recommended

Niyo Arts Gallery has been our favorite gallery in Kigali. The place itself is so colourful and beautifully decorated. We spoke to the founders brother who is also an artist and he showed us the area and also the location in the back where many of the artists work. There is a large variety of artwork and everything is so beautiful. We really enjoyed our time here. The cafe is also really nice and serves very tasty food.

This is such a beautiful, vibrant gallery, and my favourite in Kigali by far. It has just been completely redone, with beautiful and affordable pieces by 15+ very talented Rwandan artists. Best of all they support not just artists but school fees for vulnerable children. Definitely a must-see in Rwanda!

David, the proprietor, is friendly and engaging. The gallery showcases dozens of pieces in varying styles and price points and pledges to donate 40% toward a good cause. You can also enjoy the cafe in front and a beachy scene in back!

Very nice art but didn’t have space to buy the very big once and it’s free to have an exhibition

Kigali's highest rated art gallery. Artist-owned and run. There are hundreds of meticulous pieces of artwork on display. Entrance is free. Most are large pieces for large homes and commercial spaces but they can produce on order to any size. Beautiful space to be for art lovers. The restaurant on site offers great coffee and delectable meals.

Small gallery but with stunning artists, all the paints are so beautiful and also there you can see some sculpture with recycled. You must be go to visit the gallery and have look, the people are really nice, useful with information and friendly. Some of this paints are display in the hotel MILLE COLLINES (Hotel Rwanda themovie). By the way, they sale the paints as well.

Such a lovely gallery with unique paintings. I like how donations are been made from sales. Entry is completely free. This is a must visit while in Rwanda

Peaceful and amazing place where you can feel out of time. Magnificent artists and so welcoming people. Such a great experience there. 😍😍😍😍

A superb gallery with its own sandy beach! Great art, so much to look at and choose from. A very stylish cafe-bar. Friendly staff. Some proceeds support a children's charity. Definitely worth visiting. Free to view but donations accepted and worth making.

Beautiful artworks to admire and shop. Met with David, he was able to throw more light on most of the art displayed. Lovely place, it’s a good place to stop by in Kigali. Funds raised in this place are for the foundation, which is very charitable.

The gallery itself is really good, and the art pieces are truly amazing. However, it seems that the management is pretty weak in administering the place. When I visited, there was literally no one on site to help me or provide an explanation. The lights were off, and I thought they may be closed, but all the doors were wide open. In the backyard, you could see washed clothes hanging to dry, which is really not a part of the gallery, and disturbs its image. Unfortunately, I did not feel welcome. There was also no clear indication on how I could purchase a painting, and there was no one to explain. The area is very nice and you can take some good photos but the management really needs to step up in receiving their clients.

Really nice art gallery, if you have time to visit Kigali this place can be a good option to go. Place is different and lovely to take some pictures, also you can buy beautifoul artworks.

We had a wonderful visit at the Niyo Arts Gallery yesterday! My husband and I were greeted by the lovely curator Jemima, who provided the history and mission of the gallery (Niyo Foundation gives 40% of profits towards helping children and woman living in poverty in Rwanda). As we were making our way through the gallery, we met Dieudonne, who showed us to the back area where we were able to see artists in action. Thanks for making us feel so welcome! I highly recommend taking a moment to visit the gallery during your stay in Kigali. The murals outside were a real treat as well - an overall sensory delight!

Cool place, beautiful art. Met the founder too and he was very likeable. The restaurant has reasonable prices, so I'll be back to try the food aswell

Lovely pieces. Loved how they are dedicated to making sure their creativity is seen. They are a gift to the society.

Rwanda historic arts museum. Best place for artists and non artists

I don't think the museum knows what it wants to be. It showcases some really great contemporary art and yet it is a building and grounds of great historical interest and that part is kind of a side gig. No great effort made for preservation or education and that's too bad! You have an escort the whole time but they are not a guide. They don't tell you anything about the building or the history

Nice to see former President's house, especially the secret passage and remnants of plane crash

Not allowed for making photos inside

Although the tour guide was pretty knowledgeable about the artwork, the tour itself was honestly underwhelming. No info about the presidential palace, either than that he lived there. It would've been great to hear more about the house - who build it, what each room was used for, the original furniture and see some form of pictures of the house before etc. The tour is separated into two parts - you can do the tour inside the house for 6000 francs or 10000 francs (5000 if you're a local) for the artwork in house and view of remains of the crashed plane. Not worth it.

This museum is fairly new, but there's still a lot to see and learn. We're not allowed to take photos inside so you'll have to go and enjoy it yourself. Good service

Sadly, this place underwhelms immensely. The art isn’t curated in any coherent way and a lot of it is from the same artist. There is no information about the palace - no plaque or wall with basic information on who built it, who lived there, it’s purpose etc. Not one picture of what it used to look like on the inside (it’s been gutted of everything original but the floors and walls). The plane crash pieces are spread around a walled garden. Again, no information is provided - no wall about when the crash was, who was in the plane, what the investigation found, how it fits into the story of genocide, any pictures of the plane, etc. Huge opportunity for excellent historical and tourist attraction completely wasted. Far from city center. The woman at reception took us on a tour and she was lovely, but the entire experience lacked real information about Rwandan art, the presidential palace, and the plane crash. Save your money and skip it.

This museum is fairly new, but there's still a lot to see and learn. We're not allowed to take photos inside so you'll have to go and enjoy it yourself.

It is a nice place to visit. Territory is quite big as it is an old house of the ex president. The airplane peace's are right near his house where the crash took place. Incide the museum there are two floors with several paintings in each room. Grade around is really nice.

The place opened my eyes to art in Rwanda. This visit and the guidance and explanations of the tour guide made the place come alive, I felt sad, happy, scared and joy all just by immersing my self in the stories told by the arts. Please ask about the art depicting the story of Mugarura, Enjoy :-) . FYI, check the pic with announcements, one in particular, you have to remove your shoes before going inside the house.

The property used to be the residence of two former presidents hence formerly known as the presidential palace which gave insight to the way the presidents lived. There are two areas that can be visited the main building itself which houses artworks from mainly after the genocide. Some addressing the genocide, others about other subjects like traditional life in rwanda. The second part is the display of the remains of the plane of the rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana that was shot down in April 1994. You are not allowed to take pictures inside of the building but outside and in the gardens. Visiting both sections as an international visitor cost 10000 rwf as of April 2021 However thanks Judith.M.M my guide I am now fully informed about the rwandan museum discounts that offers you a 30% off if you are going to visit all museums and you pay at once.

Price is affordable and parking available. Kids can access the facility free of charge for drawing. Their drawings are sprayed in a hall reserved for that.

A place that resonates strongly with the unfortunate fate of the 10 Belgian soldiers who lost their lives on the first day of the genocide in 1994. The outside has been kept the way it was since 1994, with bulletholes all over the walls. Inside, you can read a detailed recount of the events that led to the killing of the 10 soldiers. The place is kept in a very good condition and the only guide on site is very helpful. No ticket is necessary, but donation seems to be the right thing to do.

The memorial touched my heart.. in addition to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, this place gives a visual snapshot of how grave the situation was. I was heart broken to hear what happened to the Belgian soldiers. This places take you closer to the history of Kigali.

A space to reflect, learn and pray. The brutality meted out to the Belgian peacekeepers and former prime minister demonstrates how low we can sink as human beings. But contrast that with the restoration going on in the nation today, which is a tribute, at least, to what those who lost their lives were working for. May Rwanda continue to find it's humanity again and reach the Godly potential we all have.

Here's another sad story worth learning about. Yes we wrote tribute and took beautiful pictures in the stones. It's free entry and it's next to the Kigali exhibition and cultural village

This historical place is tranquil, well-kept and worth visiting while in Kigali. It's located closer to the city centre. Information on what happened to the commandos is well-documented on the walls. The staff was welcoming and supportive. It is free to visit here, they accept donations for maintenance of the area.

Not much to see but a claustrophobic reminder of the danger UN peacekeepers face, and the impossible situations in which member states put them.

Yet another reminder of how much hatred, can be like a world fire, engulfing anyone in it's path, regardless of origins or intentions. This is the place where, on 7 April, 1994, the then Rwandan Prime Minister and 10 Belgian Commandos/ UN Peacemakers, detailed to protect her, were cornered and shot dead ...

This is a MUST see in Kigali, Rwanda. I found the visit to Belgium Camp Kigali memorial site where the ten Belgium peacekeepers were murdered at the start of the 100-day Rwandan genocide very heart-rending because the barracks are preserved in the exact condition it was in on the day of the massacre. It is almost as if time has stood still for the past 24 years from that fateful day on the 7 April 1994. Poignant also maybe for me because I was a soldier once and could read into the concealed signs of the conflict and feel the anguish of the ten young cornered Belgium peace keepers before their slaughter. Directions Travel south from the KN2 round-a-bout on KN3 Avenue pass the Gorilla statue, the Mariotte and Serena Hotels until the road makes a 90-degree right turn. There is a small sign on wall of the Kigali Conference and Exhibition Village pointing left, proceed for 50 metres and turn right into Belgium Peacekeepers Memorial.

This is not a museum, its a memorial site but very much worth a visit if you're in Kigali. This was on my to do list as part of my genocide tour if I ever visited Rwanda and I'm glad I got the opportunity to be here here in 2023. NEVER AGAIN! should the events of 1994 be allowed to happen. “Kwibuka twiyubaka" meaning "Remember – Unite - Renew" ✌️

Its for free. So definitely you need to pass by to this historical place. Amazing and at the same time sad. Not to far from the main Kigali sign in the city center. Walking distance. Super safe here. And super clean. So no worries walking around.

Quite a history here. Well told, no hurry. The gentleman at the place was courteous enough to let us proceed at our own pace and even helped us arrange local motorcycle transport. It's good to see a county embrace it's wounds as part of the healing process.

After Kigali Genocide memorial, this is also a rich site to learn about the Rwandan genocide against Tutsi that took not only Rwandan lives but also UN peacekeepers.

A memorial to the Belgian Peacekeepers who did their best in an impossible situation right in the beginning of the Genocide! Well worth a visit.

The Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial in Kigali stands as a solemn tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the pursuit of peace. The memorial's design evokes a sense of reverence, with its thoughtful arrangement of elements and serene surroundings. The names engraved on the memorial serve as a poignant reminder of the lives lost and the unwavering commitment to maintaining peace. Visiting this memorial is a deeply moving experience that honors the memory of Belgian peacekeepers and their vital contributions to global harmony.

Sad that people could go through such. Nice place to visit

Here is one of the most well-known bookstores in Kigali which has a decent collection in English, French and Kinyarwanda. There is also very good choices of stationary items.

You will find books here you won't find anywhere else. The selection of African authors amongst others is so rich and plentiful. Well stocked. Art stationary and games, kids stuff too! There is a fade inside too with rooftop seating for an amazing amazing view. 🤩.

Good bookstore in walking distance of Kigali Convention Center. I bought Rwandan travel guide, bird field guide, and Rwandan novel here, to last me through the rest of my visit to Rwanda.

I liked their selection of African literature. Quite a diverse range of books from academic, fictional and children's books. They have a small range of stationery too. There's a coffee shop inside as well.

Great place to visit. It is easy to find and it is quite beautiful incide. You get ticket at the entrance and can choose what you would like to visit an exposition which will tell you about culture, it's history , crafts or you can pay only for the tickets to see the snakes and a small crocodile. People who are working there are really friendly and openly answer on all the questions you get. Highly recommended!

It is OK to visit this former residence of German viceroy to Rwanda, Kandt, but you will not miss anything if you don't. There are a number of photos from Rwanda in the late 19th century auntie at the end of the colonial period. There are just a handful of items, but the lace can not be really called a museum. The 6000 RWF entrance fee also seems excessive. Also, there is a museum personnel who constantly watches you, which makes the experience rather uneasy. It is good to learn about the colonial period, but the management can do better in managing the place. There is also a part where they keep some snakes and crocodiles, which I did not visit. It did not seem to be a very good place to keep animals. Overall, it is not strongly recommended to visit this museum, buy if you have some extra time, it's just OK and average.

Best place to see in kigsli Richard kandth museum

6,000 RWF entry fee for the Kandt House "museum" is almost criminal. There's not that much to see here and I was offered a "snake and reptile" experience for an additional fee. I'm glad that I declined it because the reptile enclosure looks to be an incredibly state of affairs. If you set your expectations correctly and are ok with the entry fee for what amounts to a few small rooms of information and artifacts, come for a visit.

The tour at Kandt house was a really unforgettable experience with my tourists as #reallifesafaris. Special thanks in their names, in my Name as speaker of Real Life Safaris ( tour company). Our culture, our heritage, our bright future !! Real Life Safaris

My wife and I visited Kandt House on our second trip to Kigali. We are very glad we did. It was very interesting and we definitely recommend going if you have the time. I was very impressed with the staff that work there. I had an issue with my credit card so I ended up paying cash. They actually called to confirm and assure me that the charge didn't go through. These are good honest people!!🙏 The guide was excellent!

Visiting the Kandt House Museum in Kigali was a truly enlightening experience. This historical gem offers a glimpse into Rwanda's past through the lens of German colonial rule. The well-preserved artifacts and exhibits provided a comprehensive insight into the country's cultural and colonial heritage. The museum's layout and informative displays make it easy to navigate and understand the history behind each exhibit. The knowledgeable staff further enriched the experience with their expert insights and willingness to answer questions. One highlight was the opportunity to explore the beautifully maintained gardens surrounding the museum, adding a tranquil ambiance to the visit. The picturesque setting complemented the historical significance of the museum, creating a memorable visit.

We got a tour of how Kigali came to be, past colonial eras and the justice system in place before they were colonized. The tour guide was soft spoken, very detailed and patient also. I also got to see the reptiles they had at the museum. Totally recommend this place as one of the attraction sites to see if you are visiting Kigali for the first time.

This looks like a beautiful museum. The gardens are very peaceful and the gift shop is good. However, I showed up after having walked 30mins (don’t recommend walking it takes you down a dirt track) and the museum is closed for renovations. Don’t know when it’s opening again, but call ahead to check so you don’t get stuck like me!

I had an awesome time visiting the Kandt House Museum. The history of Rwanda before we colonial masters came and their resilience to resist them a number of times is pretty beautiful. I like that they also have some live animals (such as snakes, crocodile) and it made the visit also worth it. If you have some time when you visit Kigali, you should go there and you can sit for a few hours to watch the full documentary. My tour guide was patient and thorough with the details of the History.

The history of the building is very well preserved. The tour is also great. The building and entire compound are also wheelchair accessible.

Entry fee is from 2,000 rwanda franc but to have access to the whole museum, budget 10,000. The museum wasnt always a museum, it was a residential home to Mr Richard Kandt.

The Amahoro Stadium is located in Kigali, Rwanda and it will have a capacity of 45,000 seats after its expansion project is completed. The stadium's initial capacity was 25,000.

Probably the best steak in Kigali and East Africa. Great cuts served on a hot stone, to be cooked as you fancy. Go for the black pepper and garlic sauces. Fries are perfectly fried, fresh and seasoned, not overly oily. Came twice, standards are consistent. Slightly pricey, but well worth the experience. Go at dinner time for a great view of Kigali, it can get chilly but blankets are provided. Staff are very accomodating to shift around seating for preference. Seating can be rather limited, so come early, or book in advance.

Loved the views! Great service and food too

I went to 1000 hills for dinner on a weekday. I had the steak on hot stone which came with mashed potatoes and a side salad and cost 20,000rwf. It was amazing and the experience of cooking it at your table was lovely. The staff were extremely nice and customer service was excellent. I felt the meal was very worth it and I would go back again. The only thing is it was a bit hard to locate the place as there wasn’t a sign saying 1000 hills.

Rwanda Bean @ 1000 hills destillery is a nice outdoor bar/restaurant with a great view! There is a large selection of drinks and if you are hungry there is a small selection of courses. Their signatur dish is a hot rock steak served on a very hot lavastone. It tastes delicious! Great service and a great place for friends having a great time together.

Since I've started going to places, I fancy Made In Rwanda stuffs a lot. This place is calm and beautiful with the perfect view for your eyes. Mountains and Whiskey, what else will you need when it's about peace. Try their cocktails as its not the common ones. You'll love their menu! Go get drunk! Drink responsibly.

If you love whiskey and other spirits, this is your place. They also have a decent menu, sell coffee beans and it's a comfy place with lovely views too...in the daytime not at night!

The beef is a good quality but I don't sure to cooking on that volcanic rock is the best way! The service can be improved. nice ambiance with a fireplace in the garden

Located a bit on the outskirts the distillery with its attached bar and restaurant offers a quite tranquil and calm atmosphere with a lovely view over rolling hills. Whereas the drink and cocktail selection is decent, food is more on the BBQ-side. Staff is very welcoming, friendly and creates a warm atmosphere.

Little far from down town. But It's reasonable. Steak visual is so good, but I don't understand price little bit. Cause steak is small that adult to eat. I have good relaxing time there.

Cozy place with living-room atmosphere. The food was good. The cocktail great. I had the passion one with green tea. Can definitely recommend.

It was a beautiful and fun experience for me. The view is breathtaking, the steak is properly seasoned and delicious. I loved every part of the experience.

Very good Black coffee

nice

I don't know

The decoration is epic

Good Place

Slow service

Casino has moved to Dmall Hotel. There are about 10 slot machines and 10 table games. The slot machines have very low payouts.

We have been there today and the casino doesn't exist there anymore, the lady at the reception told us maybe at DMall hotel but we didn't go there.

A really great place

Good place to go to watch sport.

This place is good for free time

Come on y’all

In side m peace place..

I loved it here, though the art works were expensive

Great place with local art, the owner and artists are very welcoming and if you’re lucky you’ll see them paint right in front of you

Such a hidden gem in the community. The artists are so talented and extremely welcoming. I met Phillipe and Emmanuel today and they were wise and so super chilled. We chatted for like 30-ish minutes. They were awesome. I’m definitely not an art buff. I was hoping I would get to see more sculptural work, maybe even beadwork, I could have been into that. However, there is one artist’s work I was taken by. I didn’t get his name but his work had this absolutely drawing feel to it. He wasn’t there to explain but his work was rooted in the movement of people. I really enjoyed seeing his work. I just wish he was there so he could teach me what inspired him. The place otherwise is very friendly.

Patrick owns and directs this small, but jam-packed gallery featuring some of his own art as well as many pieces from others. NP Arts Gallery.

An amazing place with a lot of beautiful art!!! We've been there and the people there was very kind and friendly to show us the place.

Recently changed names to NP center. This center houses 9 artists that create and display different types from arts. They offer classes as well.

I like this place because they display a lot of talented arts inside and outside of the place.

Lovely lovely space, intriguing paintings and some craft items, particularly loved pieces by Colin Sekajugo.
