Nyungwe National Park

Reviewed By 518junen - Toronto, Canada

We did the Canopy Trek one day and the Chimpanzee Trek is he next. Both were excellent. The guides were very good and the experiences were unforgettable. We also appreciated the traditional dancers after the Chimpanzee Trek. They were awesome. Nice touch.

Our Lady of Kibeho Shrine

Reviewed By roamingGiggles - Nairobi, Kenya

It's a quiet and lovely place for prayer and reflection. Situated on top of the many hills in Rwanda. You may require the local bus shuttle services incase you get stuck (like we did). At the time the road was under construction. It rained most of the time. Books and videos about the history of shrine are available for sale at the offices behind the church. The Statue of Lady Kibeho is also found there, where Mary is believed to have first appeared. The isoko is found at the bottom of the hill. P.s. if you believe enough you might get lucky to see Mary. During our visit, the sun changed colours and Mary emerged from it. Others say they also saw her down at the isoko. Visit and experience your own miracles.
