Transformative experience!

Kelly_A, Nov 2025

This experience was transformational. To sit across from people who have intimately experienced the Rwanda Genocide from both sides is a rare opportunity. The people in the village are so loving, kind, and inspiring. I learned so much about forgiveness, unity, and resilience. And my tour guide, Florence, and driver, Pacifique, were both wonderful. They helped me feel respected, safe, and did a great job translating my words to the village members. Florence also provided excellent historical context so that I could better understand the conflict and aftermath. Would highly recommend!

a powerful experience

We visited a genocide memorial in addition to visiting the reconciliation community. Incredible personal stories of those involved in the genocide and how they have been able to put their lives back together in harmony.

Understanding Rwanda

Douglas_P, Jan 2025

Florence is an extraordinary tour guide. She helped us understand the genocide and the way that Rwanda overcame it. She also introduced us to many incredible people who shared their stories with us.
