Conquest of Kigali
We started out in Norfolk, Virginia at the National Airport. It was my mom and I on our way to Kigali, Rwanda. We were going for a spiritual and learning trip.

It often took 2 hours to travel …

“ Breakfast was yummy ”
Reviewed Oct 28, 2012
We had breakfast here and walked around the grounds. This was the real "Hotel Rwanda" that played an important role in saving some people during the Genocide.
