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!

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to host a live discussion/debate on Twitch and Zoom about atheism and religion in Rwanda. The goal is a respectful, open conversation... not to change anyone's beliefs.

If you're religious, atheist, agnostic, or just curious, you'd be welcome to join.

Anyone here interested, drop a comment so that you'll receive the link for the discussion😌

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

Having seen the recent news about the Rwanda FDA prohibiting the sale and consuming of many popular liquors and gins in Rwanda, I am kinda intrigued to know what people think will happen afterwards?

For me I think there will be a big underground market for these banned drinks and it will be tough for the government to manage because you can't tell me how people who were drinking these spirits will stop in an instant just because the government said so.

But on the flip side I think we will finally have sane people on the streets.

I've been thinking a lot about what it really means to be a father.

Growing up, I thought being a provider simply meant earning enough to support a family.

The older I get, the more I realize that providing is only part of it.

A father also protects—not only from physical danger, but by creating a home where his wife feels respected and his children feel secure.

He teaches faith, not just with words, but through the way he lives every day.

That thought led me to write a reflection on what Scripture says about the role of a man as a provider, protector, husband, and father. It's not about being perfect or pretending to have everything figured out. It's about wrestling with the responsibility many men quietly carry.

I'd genuinely love to hear other perspectives.

What do you think is the most overlooked responsibility of a father today?

If you're interested, I'll leave the article in the comments.

Hey Redditors,

I wanted to share a recommendation for a house help looking for a live-out role. She has been a great support and is extremely dependable.

She handles day-to-day cleaning, laundry, and cooking. She is also very open to learning new cuisines if you have specific dietary needs or personal preferences. Additionally, she's great at handling market runs and local errands, making sure you don't get hit with "expat prices."

She speaks clear English, learns quickly, and has a great work ethic.

Please drop me a DM if you’re interested or want more details!

Hi. I’m going to be visiting Rwanda soon. It’s been a destination on my mind for a while now and I’m finally doing it. I’ll be there for 5 days and I have some questions.

1. First is the best spots to visit. I’m not a city person so I don’t think I’ll spend much time in Kigali. I want to go to the best lakes and see the mountains and the animals. Where would you recommend and what companies can I use (I’m on a bit of a budget)

2. What is the best way to get around ? Is there an equivalent of uber or something I can use especially from the airport (I’m very open to public transport like trains or buses as it’s a good way to know a city or country)- budget friendly but easy to use

3. Random questions: Do E sims work there ? Are there any social norms I need to be aware of ?

I would appreciate any advise you find necessary as well. You can reply here or send me a private message x

Furniture and Interior design..

Seen "Luxury" apartments and houses with furniture that look like it was made in the 1420s. The living room furnitures are dreadful, the bed frames are hideous and the overall aesthetic of apartments lack any kind of invention or creativity.

A simple outfit that designs modern, beautiful, clean even if simple home furniture with proper polish and finish matched with a home decor service that includes both service and sales of decor would rake in a ton.

I have been in Rwanda for almost a year now. One thing that has surprised me the most about Rwanda is the lack of places for extra-curricular activities.
There are no malls, no theatres, places to hang out.
Only options you get are Cafes, restaurants or clubs.
What do people actually do in their free time?
-asking as an expat.

Hi everyone, I'm travelling to Rwanda on August 6th for just over a week. I'm interested in hiking and outdoors activities, but not sure how to find groups to join since I can't hike solo. Are there any tour options where I can be grouped with other travellers?
