Ntarama & Nyamata Memorial Day Tour

Ntarama Genocide Memorial Rwanda.
The Ntarama church was converted into a genocide memorial on the 14th 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’s, remains and artefacts which belong to those who were killed at the church, these items have remained at display 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.
Nyamata Genocide Memorial Site.
This site is a church where around 2,500 people were killed and it has become emblematic of the barbaric treatment of women during the genocide. In the church at Nyamata, there will be graphic and audio-visual displays that will focus particularly on the mass rape, brutalisation of women and the use of HIV as a deliberate weapon of genocide.
After breakfast depart for your one-day Rwandan safari with a visit to the Ntarama church where mass killings occurred during the 1994 genocide; more than 5000 people were killed in the church.
