Good to Know Before You Visit

Rwanda is safe, welcoming, and easy to explore. The best times to visit are during the dry seasons from June to September and December to February when the weather is ideal. Kinyarwanda is the primary language, but English and French are widely spoken. While cards are accepted in most cities, carrying some cash is useful for smaller towns and local markets. Respect local customs, stay curious, and get ready to enjoy everything from wildlife adventures to meaningful cultural experiences.
