The Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial in Kigali serves as a poignant tribute to the Belgian soldiers who were killed during the Rwandan genocide in 1994 while serving as part of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR). The memorial is generally accessible, though some areas may have limited access for individuals with mobility challenges. A visit can be done solo for personal reflection or as part of a guided tour to gain a deeper understanding of the historical context. There are generally no seasonal restrictions affecting visits. Entrance is typically free, though donations may be accepted. A typical visit lasts about one to two hours, allowing time for quiet contemplation and reflection on the events that transpired.
