Very interesting exhibition about Rwanda in pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial times. Very much recommended for every history interested visitor.
Good history displays about pre colonial Rwanda and German colonial administration. Con is that there are no history displays about Belgian administration or post independence history. Entry for international visitors is 10k per person or 12k if you want to see the reptiles section too.
Provided good pre-colonial history of Rwanda. It’s a bit pricey though at 13K RWF (for foreigners not living in Rwanda), given there are very few artifacts and it’s mostly written facts on walls. I did not pay additional for the reptile exhibit, but the condition of the crocodile habitat did not look great.
Very important history of Rwanda located here in the Kandt House Museum. I highly recommend a guide to walk you through what you are seeing and to answer questions. The property is also beautiful. Don't miss the venomous snake display outside, as well!
We got a tour of how Kigali came to be, past colonial eras and the justice system in place before they were colonized. The tour guide was soft spoken, very detailed and patient also. I also got to see the reptiles they had at the museum. Totally recommend this place as one of the attraction sites to see if you are visiting Kigali for the first time.
It was an interesting visit. Learn about Rwandan history before and during colonialism through the guide and photo charts in the museum. There is a snake and reptile holding at the back of the Kandt House which is an additional site to behold.
This is a small yet lovely museum that briefs visitors on colonial Africa and which countries were colonialized by whom. One can buy tickets at the entrance, and there is ample parking. The ticket office also sells souvenirs. There is a nice garden outside. Once inside, the place is well organized and easy to navigate. You get a guide as part of the visit. Once done with the museum, there is a section outdoor for reptiles. Worth spending 30-60 minutes here.
A good history of pre colonization Rwanda and what happened as colonization took hold with the Germans and finally how WWI left Rwanda to Belgium. Plus snakes and a crocodile!
