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.
4. King Christ Catholic Church

The Church’s position on top of a hill gives it a vantage view from all angles of Nyanza City. The Church gravitates the Catholic Church and Royal history in an interesting twist you would not want to miss. Christ the King Cathedral or Cathedrale Christ Roi is not just an architectural masterpiece but also a symbol of the advent of Christianity in Rwanda and the conversion of the King to Christian
5. Ahazaza Centre
6. Butare catholic Cathedral
7. Mwima Mausoleum
Mwima is the last resting place for two Rwandan Kings and one queen. Mwima was selected mainly because Rudahigwa himself had chosen the site to be the mausoleum for his father the King Yuhi V Musinga, and for himself. The King Mutara III Rudahigwa is buried in the middle, on the right is the tomb of the Queen Rosalie Gicanda, and on the left is the tomb of the King Kigeri V Ndahindurwa.
8. Urumuri
A visit to the pottery presents visitors with the opportunity to experience an improved and modern part of the Rwandans culture, which simultaneously stays true to age-old, valuable, handcraft traditions, With a bit of luck they will also share the potters’ joy of life in a traditional singing and dancing performance! We have pottery tour. If you want to join the tour, please contact us. Welcome!
