The former seat of the Rwandan monarchy, where a reconstructed royal thatched palace stands beside the modernist 1930s residence of King Mutara III. Guides explain court rituals, and long-horned inyambo cattle are still groomed and sung to on the grounds. The site offers one of the clearest windows into pre-colonial Rwandan court life.
