Climate

• Rwanda has a year-round tropical highland climate. Temperatures vary by location and altitude, with little variation throughout the year. Rain is commonplace in Rwanda. The driest months are June to mid-September and the wettest are from mid-February to May and mid-September to mid-December.
• The dry season sees cloud cover and light rainfall. Roads and paths tend to be easier to navigate during this period.

Language & Currency

• The official languages of Rwanda are Kinyarwanda, French, English and Swahili. Nearly all Rwandans speak Kinyarwanda. French, English and Swahili is widely spoken in tourist areas, with varying degrees of fluency.
• The local currency is the Rwandan franc, which divides into 100 centimes. US dollars are widely accepted; local currency is best for tipping and small purchases. Very few places accept credit cards outside of the major hotels in Kigali. Access to cash machines is available in most major towns, and exchanging currency can be done in banks and foreign exchange bureaus.

Visa & Access

• All foreign nationals require a visa for entry to Rwanda. Please check with your local Rwandan Embassy or our travel team for further information. Tourist visas can be obtained, on arrival, for travellers from the African Union, the Commonwealth of Nations and Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie at all ports of entry. For travellers of other nationalities, the Rwandan government has introduced an online ‘e-visa’ application system for obtaining tourist visas in advance of travel. Travellers who require a visa prior to arrival should carry a printed copy of their visa to present to immigration officials.
• Kigali International Airport (KGL) is the primary airport serving Rwanda.

Health

• At least 6-8 weeks before departure, please visit your local health care provider or travel clinic for any vaccination requirements and to discuss any other potential health risks, such as malaria (where applicable).
• Health protocols and travel regulations are subject to change and may be updated at any time before or during your journey. At all times, travellers are responsible for their own health and wellbeing and must comply with all rules, regulations, laws and requirements imposed. All travellers must ensure they have a comprehensive travel insurance policy in place.
• We recommend checking and monitoring the latest travel advice provided by your local government, including country-specific recommendations for your chosen destination/s.
