Rules in force · 8Hills and uneven pavements
  • Rwanda ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on the official Rwandan immigration portal before booking.
  • Rwanda ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route, including transits.
  • Rwanda ↗Plastic carrier bags are banned and can be confiscated on arrival; pack in fabric or paper.
  • Rwanda ↗On the last Saturday morning of each month (Umuganda community work), many businesses close and traffic is restricted; plan transfers around it.
  • Kigali area ↗The last Saturday morning of the month restricts traffic: avoid it for long transfers.
  • Kigali ↗Hills and uneven pavements: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Kigali ↗Last Saturday of the month, morning: Umuganda community work restricts traffic and closes many shops until about midday. Do not plan airport transfers or a tight schedule then.
  • Kigali ↗The Kigali Genocide Memorial is a place of mourning: dress quietly, keep phones silent and follow the posted photography rules. Plan nothing demanding the same day.
