1 Day Rwanda Kigali Tour Ntarama Nyamata Genocide Memorials Detailed Itinerary

0830 Hours: After breakfast, depart for your one-day Rwanda Kigali safari to visit the Ntarama church. Ntarama Church is located about 25 km south of Kigali (in Kigali District) and takes about an hour’s drive. On arrival, a local guide welcomes you and then gives you a guided tour. A guided tour around the compound takes half an hour at most.

The Ntarama church was converted into a genocide memorial on the 14th of April 1995 and was dedicated to over 5000 people who lost their lives in this place. Ntarama which is one of the six national Genocide memorial sites contains human clothing, remains and artifacts that belong to those who were killed at the church, these items have remained on display at all times.

During the Genocide, the Tutsis persecuted much of the population who sought sanctuary in the catholic churches believing that they would be protected and safe there. It’s also thought that church leaders informed the Hutus of the secret mass of Tutsis who were in the churches, and the Hutus stormed the churches and killed all the people.

A further 5 km south of Ntarama is a larger church memorial site at Nyamata, the Nyamata Parish Catholic Church. Here grenades, rockets, and automatic weapons were all used to massacre the people imprisoned inside the church. It is believed that 10,000 were killed inside the church with another 35,000 killed around the church compound between April 10th and April 12th of 1994. Inside this church today are all the bloodied clothing of the victims.

The walls of the church show where the grenades blew holes in the walls, and where the doors were blown open. Beside the church is a large underground crypt. It is totally filled with thousands of skulls, femurs, and other bones belonging to the 45,000 people that were so savagely murdered.

There are crude wooden coffins filled with bones of whole families (as best they could tell), all draped in purple covers. Return back to Kigali, enjoy a sumptuous lunch and later shop for a bunch of different types of Rwandan souvenirs and mementos.
