Gikongoro Genocide memorial: Just outside Huye is one of the most compelling genocide memorials in Rwanda. The memorial is located in Gikongoro, which is about 15 minutes east of Huye along the road to Cyangugu; taxis will take you there from Huye for about $15. In 1994, Gikongoro was the site of a large massacre at a vocational school where several hundred Tutsis were hiding. Local guides (some of whom have firsthand knowledge of the events that transpired there) will tell you the story of what happened there.
