After breakfast, immerse yourself in a full day at the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village. Participate in traditional activities such as banana beer brewing, spear-throwing, millet grinding, and learning about ancient royal traditions. In the afternoon, visit a local women’s cooperative to try your hand at basket weaving and jewelry-making using traditional materials.

Visit the bustling Musanze market, where you’ll explore stalls filled with vibrant textiles, fresh produce, and handmade crafts. Learn about the cultural significance of Rwanda’s fabrics and the history of “imigongo” art. Later in the afternoon, enjoy a storytelling session with village elders as they share folk tales, proverbs, and oral history passed down for generations.

Before departing, take a gentle morning walk with your host family through their fields. Help with light farming tasks or collect herbs from the garden. Share a farewell breakfast and return to Kigali with a deeper understanding of Rwanda’s cultural heartbeat.
