  This is the place where 10 Belgian peacekeepers were slaughtered during the Rwandan genocide. There is security at the entrance, but one can enter. Entrance is free of charge, and there is a guide on-site for inquiries and guiding. Worth spending 10-15 minutes here.

  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.

  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.

  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.
