The trip saw the couple visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial site and present President Kagame with a shirt from DeGeneres' wildlife fund.
The couple are to build a gorilla conservation centre in Rwanda - one of the few countries where mountain gorillas are still found.
They also had time to pose with "Visit Rwanda" signs.
The slogan has generated some controversy in recent days over the government's sponsorship deal with Arsenal football club.
