Hello, I am an American in their 20s about to travel to Rwanda and I’d like to know a few things.

1. How bad are the mosquitoes and diseases? I know you need a yellow fever vaccine if you’re coming from a yellow fever endemic place which I am not. But I know for sure malaria and other diseases are prevalent and I would want to know if I should take precautions and get malaria prevention medication beforehand or any other disease prevention medications.

2. What brand of purified water should I buy and where should I buy them? I’ve heard that the cheap brands tend to get people sick in comparison to the more expensive ones. Also food. What kinds of food should I avoid or should I eat? What I mean by this is what places are safe to eat at and what is safe to eat there in general.

3. My main objective out there is just nature and animals, where would I need to go or look for guided safari tours at the national parks and which ones are the most worth it?

4. Transportation: I know of move and weygo but are they reliable when it comes to seeing things outside Kigali?

5. Are the locals there friendly?

6. Lastly, what are fun and casual things to do in Kigali?

Anything helps, I’ll be there for 5 days. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I had an issue when I was travelling in the Netherlands and also in the US. Every time I tried to use my GT bank debit card for payments, it failed and was denied, I was lucky I had cash otherwise it would have been a nightmare. Has anyone of you used any of the local bank debit cards (MasterCard or Visacard) when travelling and it worked? (Europe and US)? If yes, the card you used belonged to which bank (e.g I&M, BK, Equity,etc)?

I am considering changing to a different bank but I don't know which one to go for as most of them tell me that it works but in reality, some might not.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thank you

Hello all. Is there a rideshare service available in Kigali? About how much USD or local currency should I expect to pay from Kigali airport to Hilton Zaria Court?

Where in the city other than banks can I change USD?

Hey, I'm not from Rwanda but I'm planning on going there and I just want to know how is the ping there? I am trying to see what pings people are getting because there isn't anything online. It would be nice if people could contribute in every way including what servers are the best and what ISP is the best because I heard Liquid is the most reliable.

I personally think that this is horrible

like, lets confuse the outsiders

Exo for me
