in Nyanza, 88 km south of Kigali City, this was the residence of King
Mutara III Rudahigwa and the Royal Palace that was traditionally built.
This Palace offers a detailed look
into Rwandan traditional seat of their monarchy, it is an impressive
museum, restored to its 19th century state and made entirely with
traditional materials. Recently the Long horned Traditional cows, known
in Kinyarwanda as "Inyambo" were also introduced because of the
fact that cows form an integral part of Rwandan Culture . On the
neighboring hill of Mwima, one can also visit the burial grounds of King
Mutara III and his wife Queen Rosalie Gicanda.
