Very much worth visiting if you're in Kigali. We spent a couple of hours here listening to the audio tour and looking closely at the exhibits. The gardens outside were not exactly as described in the audio tour (fountains not running, statues not there), but they were the least important part of the memorial. So much horrifying and excellent information available. It's very well done and very educational. So shameful that genocide happens over and over throughout the world and throughout history. When will we learn better?

The memorial is a beautiful but somber place. The story telling through the grounds was moving and informative.

This Memorial Genocide is a symbol of remembering our past but also to unite and renew for a fabulous future. We shall always remember you all R.I.P . I pray for God's strength and healing for all of us (Country) and this will never happen again. I Love 💕 You Rwanda

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.🙏🏾

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.
