Rwanda Travel Forum

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.

Hallo all there,
me and my wife would like to go to Rwanda on holiday,but we dont know much about the country.
Please let us know which hotels are good and not too expensive.
Any help will be highly appreciated,
Sincerely Falko and Nancy Jahn.

Could anybody tell me how it is to live (practically) in Rwanda for someone who is going to go and work there: housing, utilities availability (electricity, water), security, leisure, etc.
Thanks, Savane

Hello,

Do you know where is best for gorilla trekking? I'm trying to decide between Bwindi in Uganda or volcanoes national park in Rwanda.

Can anyone help me decide please?

My trip is planned for the end of April.

Thanks,

p.s. I've also posted the same question in the Ugandan forum.

I want to travel between Park Des Volcans,Rwanda; and Kibale forest,Uganda.
Are there frequent buses or is this going to be difficult ?

I am suppose to go to Rwanda soon and teach at a private school there. HIV and AIDS education. Does anyone know the current status of this type of education in their school system? For example, how much AIDS education is currently being taught. What is a typical Rwandan curriculum like. etc.?
