  • If you want to learn about our history and travel to one of the beautiful parts of Rwanda, then this should be on your list. Great service, the tour guides were welcoming. There's plenty of space for kids to run around outside BTW. You can kill 2 to 3 birds with one stone 🤣Before you reach here, you can pass by the king's palace and heritage museum... there's a lot to do in those areas. All you need is time. It's affordable.
  • Great!!! There's a lot to see and learn about the ways, crafts, livelihoods of ancient Rwandans. What I loved the most is that some of the items exhibited here are not enclosed within glass cases. You can look them closely and probably touch them. There's also a prototype of an ancient house that you can enter and it feels like walking into the past. This a great place to learn about the aesthetics and crafts of our (Rwandan) ancestors!
