GOOD TO KNOW

Rwanda Travel and Vacation – Good to know

A visa is required for entry into Rwanda. It can be applied for online through the official government website and is usually available quickly. A visa on arrival is also possible, but online registration is recommended to avoid waiting times. Peak travel times may lead to longer wait times, so plan ahead!
The best airport for arrival is Kigali International Airport (KGL). It is well connected and offers numerous international connections. The airport is only 10 km from the capital Kigali, which makes access to accommodations and services easier. Use local taxi apps or shuttle services to get to your hotel after your arrival.
The local currency in Rwanda is the Rwanda Franc (RWF). Credit cards are accepted in larger cities and hotels, but it is advisable to have cash on hand as well. ATMs are widely available in Kigali, but they are scarce in more rural areas. Plan your cash needs accordingly to avoid unforeseen expenses!
Vaccinations are recommended, especially against yellow fever and malaria. Travel health insurance is also advisable to be covered in case of a medical emergency. Check the current health regulations before traveling, and ensure that all necessary vaccinations are up to date to ensure your health and safety during your adventure.
To drive in Rwanda, you need an international driver's license. This is important, as local authorities closely monitor violations. SIM cards are available in stores and at the airport. Companies like MTN or Airtel offer affordable packages for tourists. Don't forget to bring your documents and passports to ease the registration process.
