Rwanda is commonly referred to as the ‘land of a thousand hills’, an appropriate name for this small country with its stunning scenery of rolling verdant hills, picturesque mountains and some of Africa’s best inland beaches that are concealed by the shores of Lake Kivu.The mountain gorillas in Rwanda, contribute greatly to its tourism. This guide is here to help you plan for your Rwanda Safari.
Welcome to Rwanda, the land of a thousand hills and a million smiles. Rwanda boasts a unique and remarkable beauty, making it a must-visit destination for travelers. Located at the heart of Africa, this country is a bridge between the ecosystems of the Congo and the Great Rift Valley. Rwanda is renowned for being home to over 320 of the world’s remaining 1,060 mountain gorillas, which is why gorilla safaris in the country are so popular. Trekking through Volcanoes National Park to encounter these majestic creatures is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Banks and foreign exchange bureaus are readily available in capital cities, and most hotels and lodges accept Visa and MasterCard. Along with credit cards, travelers are advised to carry US dollars in cash, preferably in small denominations. While US dollars are widely accepted, older or high-denomination bills might not be.
It is crucial to secure comprehensive travel insurance before departing. Your coverage should include medical emergencies such as hospitalizations, as well as trip cancellations, curtailments, and baggage protection. When traveling with &Beyond, you are automatically covered by emergency evacuation insurance, which ensures transport to the nearest hospital in the event of severe illness or injury. However, this does not cover treatment costs once admitted to the hospital and is not a substitute for standard travel insurance. Please inform us of any pre-existing conditions beforehand to facilitate coverage, subject to our insurer’s approval.
It is recommended to stay updated on safe areas by consulting your guide, who can provide advice on any locations to avoid. When exploring the city, avoid deserted areas, especially at night, and refrain from wearing excessive jewelry. Use a concealed travel wallet to protect your valuables.
Rwandans are known for their warmth and hospitality, so feel free to ask for assistance whenever needed. Be mindful of taking photos of government-related areas, including military installations, government offices, post offices, banks, and transportation hubs.
Before traveling to Africa, consult with your physician regarding malaria prevention. Rwanda falls within the yellow fever zone, so a Yellow Fever vaccination is mandatory at least 10 days before your trip. Without this, you may face re-entry restrictions in your home country or other African nations.
If you are on any special medication, ensure you bring enough supplies for the entire duration of your visit.
