The big stone of Shali


It is an enormous stone of the size of a small Rwandan traditional hut, which is at Shali at Riba in Kibingo. I is at about 12 km from the city of Huye towards Burundi, near the main road. The top of the Big Stone of Shali looks as it had a lid. There is also near the Stone, another big stone but smaller.

The history of this place has several versions: some people say that the lightning struck a big stone which was smashed to bits and a piece of which broke loose and flew into the air then fell back to the ground to form the lid which can be seen. Others say that it is the big one that gave birth to the smaller, given that it is twice its size.
As for the origin of the big stone, it seems that it could be situated during the reign of Ruganzu Ndori.
Some people say that when King Ruganzu carried on a war of expansion against Burundi, seeing that they had not enough forces to fight him, the Barundi sent him a big boa to prevent him from continuing to progress. Instead of becoming afraid, Ruganzu took a stone and threw it in the mouth of the boa which became immediately the Big Pierre.

Others assert that under the reign of Ruganzu, there was a big boa which had decimated people and property in the village of Shali. As that boa was ravaging everything that passed by the road of Shali which led to the court, people could no more go to offer their presents to the king.
As soon as he heard that, Ruganzu went to hunt that boa which took refuge in a hole. Ruganzu took then a stone and blocked the hole in which the boa had entered and took another stone to block the other extremity of the hole. It is for that reason that the inhabitants of that village say that if those stones were moved, the boa would return to decimate again the people who live there. Those stones continued to grow until they reached the size they have today.

 Rwanda for elderly and physically challenged people.


We strongly believe and practice the non-discriminative policy of assisting and helping the physically challenged and elderly people to visit Rwanda, and experience its tourist attractions, including savanna wildlife game viewing and game drives,  

Motor Boat excursion trips on Lake Kivu, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla tracking, and the Golden monkeys trekking.
We provide experienced porters and the Rwandan traditional stretchers in which the physically challenged and elderly people are carried, as they track the chimpanzees, mountain gorillas, or the Golden monkeys.

Access Rwanda Safaris Ltd is probably the ONLY Tour Operating Company in Rwanda that provides these unique facilities and services to make it possible for almost everybody to enjoy Rwanda’s varied tourist attractions and services.
