Ndaba rock; the mystical history of this rock is one of the reason that drives many tourists to take a detour to it after visiting any one of Rwanda’s national park.
The rock is just a 2 hour drive from Kigali city thus being suitable for you to access it easily. In the past, people used to collect honey from it especially the local citizens an act which was done by one individual who was picked randomly by the entire society.
This person could climb to the summit of the rock being helped by his fellows in that he should have collected the honey and brings it back for sharing with his fellows.
However, history states that one day there was a mysterious disappearance of a certain individual who was too greedy that once he climbed the rock for collecting honey, he decided to eat the whole honey which he had collected without serving to his fellows.
This rock can be bypassed on your way back to the Kigali international airport for a flight back to your homeland.
