King’s Palace in Nyanza

King’s Palace in Nyanza, a visit to the former seat of the Rwandan monarchy is a fantastic way to break up the long drive between Nyungwe and Kigali. It also offers a window into Rwanda’s pre-colonial past. Lovingly restored to its former glory using traditional materials however it is today an impressive museum. It is surrounded by the long-horned cows that were traditionally associated with the Rwandan monarchy.
