Safety in Rwanda

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

From a tourist’s perspective, Rwanda ranks as one of the safest countries in Africa. Kigali, the capital city, is very safe, even at night, provided you follow the same kind of commonsense rules – avoid walking alone in unlit dark alleys, or overt displays of wealth – you would in any large city.

Ideally, you should leave any expensive jewellery at home and avoid leaving valuables such as cash, mobile phones, and electronic devices lying around openly in your hotel room. Padlocking your luggage is a strong deterrent to casual light fingers.

It’s a good idea to carry a printout and/or electronic version of all important travel documents in case they are lost. You might also want to email all such backups to an inbox you can access anywhere on the road.
