Accommodation in Rwanda can be expensive but often lacks basic amenities. Consider places like Umutuzo Lodge by Lake Kivu for a scenic stay, or Ruzizi Lodge for luxury.
Make sure to withdraw cash upon arrival at the airport, as ATMs may not always work in smaller towns. A SIM card for local data is recommended, with Airtel being a reliable option.
Driving in Rwanda can be challenging due to potholes and limited lighting at night. Renting a 4WD vehicle is essential, as many roads may be unpaved and time-consuming.
Make sure to visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, Akagera National Park for safaris, and Nyungwe National Park for hiking and a canopy walk. Plan your time wisely as travel between these locations can take longer than expected.
Engage in local culture by visiting places like Azizi Life for cultural tours or participating in activities like 'Bananas and Bees' in Akagera Park. These experiences provide insight into Rwandan traditions.
Yellow fever vaccination is not strictly required for Rwanda, but it is necessary for entry into neighboring countries like Uganda. Consider malaria medication, as it is advisable to take precautions while traveling.
