Preparing for Rwanda
Imagine arriving at Kigali International Airport, welcomed by the breathtaking landscapes of the Land of a Thousand Hills. The best part? Getting here is effortless.
Visas Made Simple
Your passport should be valid for 6+ months. Most travelers get a visa on arrival or apply early at migration.gov.rw; East African residents can use their national ID.
Health & Safety
Travelers from yellow fever risk areas need a vaccination certificate. Rwanda is mostly malaria-free, but carry repellent and dial 112 for emergencies.
Currency & Payments
The Rwandan Franc (RWF) is the main currency, but US dollars are accepted in many places. Cards and mobile payments like MTN and Airtel Money are widely used, though some spots prefer cash.
Transportation & Connectivity
Getting around Rwanda is easy with taxis, moto-taxis, and apps like YegoMoto or Move Ride. Grab a local MTN or Airtel SIM card for easy, affordable connectivity.
Communication
Rwanda has great connectivity with English, French, and Kinyarwanda widely spoken. Free Wi-Fi is common, and a local SIM card with data keeps you connected throughout your trip.
Sustainable Travel
Rwanda is committed to sustainability, avoid single-use plastics, bring a reusable bag, and support local businesses. Follow responsible tourism guidelines in parks and wildlife areas to protect the environment.
Smart Travel Tips
Book accommodations and activities early, especially in peak seasons. Keep digital copies of your documents, learn basic Kinyarwanda, and stay updated on local events to fully enjoy Rwanda's culture.
Cultural Etiquette
Respectful interactions are key, dress modestly, especially outside cities, and greet with a handshake or “Muraho.” Always ask for permission before photographing people.
