Day notes
This morning after breakfast, you will have a city tour which will include a visit Genocide Memorial Centre to learn about the lessons learned so this tragedy never happens again. As an outsider, it is almost impossible to understand the true scope of what really happened here in 1994. Your visit to the center will help bring some of the tragedy to light as you learn about individual stories of losing family and friends while at the same time learning about the efforts of Rwandans to heal and carry on as one people.
Afterwards, depart for Volcanoes National Park. The roads are good and the journey to Ruhengeri will take approximately two hours. On arrival, a late lunch will be served in the main lodge, with its scenic vistas of the Virunga Volcanoes, of the Parc National des Volcans.
