Will be in Kigali for work and wondered if there are any gay-friendly bars in Kigali. Used to traveling in the Great Lakes so I know that there wouldn't be any openly gay bars, but I also know that there should be some places that are "family friendly" Also, I am a white guy and I know that some bars simply aren't mzungu friendly, and by that I mean, a mzungu would be drawing unwanted attention to what normally would need to be on the down-low or a bit more low key.
Thanks!
Hi everyone and anyone,
I am planning on going out to Rwanda next january to do some charity work in the Rwamagana region as visited last year. I then plan on making my way south through tanzania to the Malawi border where I will hopefully take part in some more pro active work. How easy is it to travel along this route southwards is bus the best option?
is it quite easy to find cheap accomodation on the way?
Thanks
Hi there,
My girlfriend and I are going to Kigali and we would like to study french while we are there (1-2 months). Does anyone know of any regular and afordable short courses or any reputable french tutors? We would prefer to go through an agency or university.
Apparently its quite easy and cheap in Uganda, however we would prefer to do it in a french speaking country.
Would it be easy to find affordable accomodation in Kigali?
Thanks,
micah
Is doxy available over-the-counter in kigali and at what approximate cost? I usually wait until I'm in country to pick up most of my anti-malarial run because it is typically cheaper and want to know if that will be the same for Rwanda.
I'm doing a gorilla trek from Musanze and afterwards want to head to Kampala and then onto Jinja. What is the best way I should go? I've heard that you can cross the border near Musanze but it is a night bus so I'm worried about security so wondered if it is better to return to Kigali to get the bus to Kampala. I presume I could get a bus back to Kigali in the afternoon the same day of visiting the gorillas.
Thank you

Hi, is it feasible and reasonable to do a day trip to the Genocide Memorials in Nyamata in the morning (from Kigali) and be back in time to head to Ruhengeri in the afternoon?
hello fellow-travellers!
I will be travelling in October from Kigali into Uganda (Kabale), then DRC (Bukavu)... from Bukavu to Bujumbura, and back to Kigali
Any reasons why this should NOT be done by daytime road, bus or micro?
And any border crossing where a UK national can NOT get an entry visa at the border?
many thanks!

My husband will be working in Kigali at the University hospital for a few months and I would like to join him with my 3 year old daughter, but am unsure if this is a wise plan. My daughter and I would probably go for a month. I have done some initial research about Malaria prophalaxis, and vaccinations, but still feel unsure about weighing the risks vs. the experience of going. I am in a MPH program and would love to do some research while I am there. Our contacts in Kigali are American MD's and…
I am planning a 2-week trip to Rwanda either around the last week of Oct/1st week of Nov or end-Dec/beginning of Jan, going alone and hoping to find someone who'd like to share the costs of a car/driver to do gorilla treks from Ruhengeri and/or a trip of a few days through Akagera and Nyungwe. I have received some quotes from a few agencies, so if anyone could be interested please send me a PM.
Thanks, Marc
To All Readers,
I am going to Rwanda in November 2010 and am planning on doing 3 days of gorilla treking November 13, 14 and 15th (hoping there is a discount for a 3-day pass vs. $500 x 3 days!). If anyone is going during that period and wants to share 4WD transport expense (or taxi from Ruhengeri hotel to park headquarters in Kinigi), please contact me at my Hotmail E-mail account that uses the same username as my ThornTree username (i.e., [liljeeter] [AT] [hotmail]).
