Home of Kigezi Museum & Boutique Vacation - Holiday Home
About This Museum
People don't just come here for a bed for the night; they come to immerse themselves in the rich, textured history of the Kigezi region. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a thoughtfully curated family home where every object has a story. You can sip your morning coffee on the veranda, gazing out at the dramatic peaks of the Greater Virunga Ranges, and then wander inside to discover a world of traditional artifacts and photographs. It’s this seamless blend of a cozy holiday stay with an authentic cultural experience that makes it so special.
Collection Highlights
The museum's heart is its collection of everyday life—intricate woven baskets, ancient agricultural tools used on these very hillsides, and striking black-and-white portraits that seem to speak of a different time.
Visitor Information
You'll find it right on the scenic Kabale-Kisoro road in Lower View; since it's also a boutique vacation home, it's best to arrange your visit in advance to see the museum or book a stay.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a charming, welcoming structure that feels perfectly at home in its surroundings, more like a spacious local homestead than a typical museum.
