The Genocide Memorial, the former Presidential Palace Museum, the Muslim Quarter with all of its sights and sounds, Hotel Rwanda (Hotel des Mille Collines), the Belgian Soldier Memorial, to name just a few.

Thousands flock each year – not only to see the Mountain Gorillas – but for a pilgrimage to the small town in southern Rwanda.
Kibeho was the place where some young people had visions of Mary appearing to them and even telling them of the Genocide that was to come in graphic terms. In 2001 the Vatican authenticated the visions and the little town of Kibeho has become the Lourdes of Africa with pilgrims not only from Rwanda and other African Counties but from all over the world including India.
For Catholic Visitors Kibeho and its Church should be a must visit that one will not regret.
