Ubumuntu, meaning humanity, is an international arts festival held at the amphitheatre of the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Gisozi. As its name says, its programme centres on our shared humanity, and the setting asks visitors for respect.

A villa gives you a calm place to return to after the performances. The concierge can arrange a private driver for each evening, so you do not need to think about the journey, and an interpreter if one would help.
