Rwanda / Tanzania border crossing warning: Posted: Fri March 24, 2006 12:25 PM UTC
Please be aware that the road from the Rwanda border toward Mwanza, Tanzania, is potentialy extreamly dangerous. Bandits are active in the area, most recently (around 6 days ago)about 15km east of Ngara. If you are planning to cross between the two countries I would suggest perhaps returning north and taking the ferry from Bukoba (Uganda)to Mwanza or travelling through Burundi, though check the security before crossing the border there. It was fine up to a few days ago at least. These options may incure further visa fees unfortunately.
Travel safe.
