Rwanda is one of Africa’s safest travel destinations, known for its political stability, low crime rates, and clean, secure cities like Kigali. Tourism infrastructure is well-developed, and local authorities maintain a strong safety presence. Travellers should avoid areas near the DRC border but can otherwise explore the country confidently by following local advice and staying informed.
A well-prepared traveller turns every moment in Rwanda into a safe, seamless, and unforgettable experience.
“Rwanda’s wild beauty isn’t just for big spenders—thoughtful choices turn every moment into an affordable adventure.”
Use hotel-arranged transport or trusted ride apps, especially in the evenings.
Stay alert in markets, and avoid walking alone at night, particularly in unfamiliar areas.
Eat cooked meals in towns; most safari lodges follow strict hygiene standards.
Drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid street food unless recommended by a guide.
Many solo women opt for guided, lodge-based safaris for comfort and safety.
Lodges offer a secure, structured environment with professional staff and fellow travellers.
Flights, transfers, and lodge stays are well-coordinated for a seamless, secure experience.
Always travel with a registered tour company or experienced local guide.
