About This Tour
Years ago in the time of the Rwandan Kings, there once was a prince who decided to decorate his house by molding geometric shapes onto the wall of his hut using cow dung. In time, this technique was developed into a popular form of traditional Rwandan art called “Imigongo.” During your Experience, you will learn the history and technique of Imigongo art and then make your own piece to take away with you.
