Our Recommandations to you
Here are a few tips to make your stay in Rwanda even better…Do not forget…..Your camera. Treatment against malaria.An effective insect repellent with a minimum 30% DEET for Rwanda is a malaria risk area.A sunscreen lotion with a high UV index, because the sun rays in Rwanda are unforgiving.Before your departure, get vaccinated against: yellow fever (mandatory), hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever and meningitis.First aid Kit and your medication.
Basic hygiene products, because they are expensive in Rwanda. A headlamp, since power outages are common and the sun sets every evening at 6 pm. A refillable water bottle and tablets or drops to purify water.Treated nets impregnated with deltamethrin. An adapter with two round blades (used in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean) and a converter (230 v 50 Hz). Binoculars. Rwanda has several species of birds to observe. Precious clothing…
Comfortable walking shoes. Keep in mind that the roads are strenuous. A good raincoat will be very useful especially in the two rain seasons (which occur mid-March to end of May and from October to December). Warm clothing for a cool evening. A hat to protect you from the sun. The Rwandans are very proud therefore they may get offended by a neglected look
To make new friends…
Always ask before you take pictures. Keep on smiling and be patient in every situation especially in restaurants, because you can wait up to an hour to be served. Learn a few words of Kinyarwanda, Rwandans are always happy when they are greeted in their mother tongue. Don’t worry; English is more present then French. There the first language spoken is Kinyarwanda. Cross the street at locations reserved for pedestrians and no matter what do not step over a wire or cord even if they are at calf level. You will be fined if an authority representative sees you.
Avoid any conversation on politics or genocide. Never ask someone to what ethnic group he or she belongs. In a safari or in a gorilla tour always follow the guides’ instructions. Remember that they have your safety at heart.Do not bring plastic bags. They are banned in the country since 2006
