2 Day Rwanda Cultural Tour Where Waste Becomes Hope

2 days

Easy

2-day Rwanda cultural tour from Kigali to Nyanza. Pottery with Batwa artisans, waste-to-hope farm, royal history. Exclusive community partnerships.
This Tour Isn't For Everyone.

If you want the Rwanda you've seen in photos—gorillas, Kigali tours, palace visits, Lake Kivu sunsets—skip this.

This tour revolves around inspirational figures who transformed Rwanda—from colonial times through genocide to today. Even your lodge host has a story worth telling.

Meet Father Fraipont, the "father of people with disabilities." Meet Godfrey, whose conversation under a tree fed 20,000 people. Learn from Batwa master potters.

Ride on the back of a bicycle 'African Taxi' through landscapes and heritage sites that shaped royal power. Hear monarchy stories in the palace.

Watch everything you know about waste change: cow urine grows massive bananas, dung powers homes, banana stalks become sanitary pads.

Two days meeting giants. Understanding Rwanda through people who refused to let it break.
