A Tribute to Resilience: Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the Muhazi Lake area. Head south on the main road towards Kigali. After approximately 30 kilometers, you will reach the outskirts of Kigali. Follow signs for the city center and merge onto KN 3 Ave. Continue straight until you reach the coordinates 23R7+R6M, which is where the Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial is located. There is parking available nearby, but be mindful of local parking regulations. There may be a small fee for parking in some areas.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from Muhazi Lake to Kigali. Look for a bus heading towards Nyabugogo bus terminal, which is a major hub in Kigali. The bus ride will take about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive at Nyabugogo, transfer to a local taxi or motorcycle taxi (commonly known as 'moto') to take you directly to the Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial on KN 3 Ave. The fare for the moto should be around 2,000 RWF. Ensure you have cash in Rwandan Francs for the bus fare and the moto.

• Walking

  If you are already in the immediate vicinity of the Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial, you can walk there. From any nearby hotel or location, head towards KN 3 Ave. The memorial is well-signposted, and you can ask locals for directions if needed. Walking is a great way to absorb the local culture and scenery.
