April is a wet month, and national parks, especially those in remote areas, are less visited, causing a drop in prices at different parks. However, visitors who are eager to see the natural wonders can still brave the cold weather and muddy grounds and go ahead with their journey, as the park gates are open throughout the year.
There are other places you can visit in Rwanda during April, including:
- Kigali Genocide Memorial, where about one million victims were killed during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Many families who lost loved ones come every year to visit this place.
- Niyo Art Gallery, where colorful mural arts and sculptures are displayed. African drums add to the atmosphere as you enjoy African coffee. Your support helps underprivileged children, as the funds are used to support them.
- Inema Art Center, founded in 2012 by brothers and self-taught painters Emmanuel Nkuranga and Innocent Nkurunziza. The center is lively and encourages creativity related to social, economic, and personal growth.
- Kimironko Market, a must-visit if you want to see how most Rwandese people live and run their daily activities. The items sold here are very affordable.
- Nyamata Church, a place for the strong-hearted. It carries a lot of painful memories, as it tells the story of the genocide, with graves built within the same area. Visitors learn about what happened in Rwanda in 1994.
Various Rwanda safaris include:
- 3-Day Uganda Chimpanzee Habituation
- 5-Day Gorilla and White Water Rafting
- 5-Day Gorilla and Game Safari
- 8-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari
This April, seek relaxation at the best lodges and camping sites within and around national parks.
