The richness of Rwandan culture is apparent in the wide range of spheres. From its rich history and daily life to cultural and historical sites, Rwanda has an amazing culture to showcase to the world. All ethnic groups cherish oral traditions of proverbs, songs, and chants. Much of Rwanda's traditional cultural heritage revolved around dances, praise songs, and dynastic poems designed to enhance the legitimacy of the Tutsi kingship. Since independence in 1962 another set of traditions has emerged, emphasizing a different cultural stream, identified with a Hutu heritage. Regional dances, including the celebrated hoe dance of the north, are given pride of place in the country's cultural repertoire. Traditional crafts such as basketry, ceramics, and ironworks provide another element of continuity with the past.

At Abacus African Vacations, we believe there’s more to see in Rwanda than the routine of seeing the rare mountain gorillas, wildlife and sightseeing. Thats whay we have created several cultural tours in Rwanda that will take you on an adventure through the historic sites, genocide memorial sites & museums in Rwanda. In addition to that we have included many “cultural experiences” far beyond the usual sightseeing, transportation & accommodation. Our itineraries are structured around cultural themes - history, architecture, people-to-people visits, archeology, cuisine, music, art, health, spa’s & religious interests. We offer both soft adventure & luxury tours for individuals & families.
