Kibeho is the largest town in Nyaruguru District, Rwanda, located in the south. The town is famous in central Africa as the location where groups of young men and women had visions of the virgin Mary in the 1980s. One of the few Vatican-approved instances of a sighting of Mary, the town has become a very popular destination during the Assumption of Mary on August 15, when the normally small and tranquil village triples or quadruples in size as people come from neighboring countries (often on foot) to celebrate at the church.
There are several minibuses daily from Huye which can take you to Kibeho. The bus station is connected to Hotel Ibis, to the left of the terrace. Buses leave about every hour and a ticket costs FRw 1000.
Read in the guideKibeho has several motorcycle taxis, but the town could be walked from north to south in 20 minutes, and is generally quite small so they may not be necessary.
