Genocide, City tour and transfer to Musanze
Beginning with historical sites from colonial, post-independence, genocide, and post-genocide eras, such as Kigali Solaire, Stade regionale, the Kigali Genocide Memorial Site, where over 259,000 victims of the genocide were buried in mass graves, the Dr. Richard Kandt Museum, which honors the first German explorer to arrive in Kigali, the Belgian camp where ten Belgian UN soldiers were slain for defending the moderate prime minister prior to the start of the genocide, and so on, can be explored with a historical perspective. After lunch, make your way to Bugesera to visit the reconciliation village, where victims of the genocide coexist peacefully with those who massacred their own family, as well as the genocide churches at Nyamata and Ntarama, where thousands of innocent people were slaughtered in the name of God.

Day 2
Gorilla trekking and transfer back to Kigali
Gorilla trekking and transfer back to Kigali
We head to the park after breakfast. We are starting a once-in-a-lifetime experience of monitoring mountain gorillas after finishing our park requirements. You are allowed to watch your closest long-lost cousin for one hour after you find them. Possibly one of the most amazing wildlife encounters on the planet is this one. You get to see these amazing, enormous primates up close. You both look at each other blankly, unsure if who should start breaking the prolonged quiet first. It's an amazing experience to track gorillas through the bright alpine forest on the Virunga slopes. Remain at the base till lunchtime! However, certain gorilla families are more difficult to trace, and it can take all day, particularly in muddy and damp conditions. Proceed to Kigali.
