Rwanda

i would like to travel to The republic of Rwanda to visit the genocide site. Kindly advice me on how to go about it.
Merci beaucoup et bonne journee.

Does anyone know of an organised tour between entebbe and kigali including chimp and gorilla trekking that is not a luxury style trip? All the trips I have found that include both countries are luxury safaris and very expensive - the more basic cheaper trips seem to be uganda only.

Hello everyone
I am travelling to Rwanda in November, and am very much lookign forward to trekking to see the mountain gorillas. However, all of my research so far has led me to trips that are organised as per the request, and I really would like to join some sort of organised group trip to do the trek. I think it would be much more enjoyable than just me and the guide!
Does anybody know of any companies that organise trips like this?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can buy contact lens solution in either Rwanda or Western Tanzania? I'm running out and haven't seen any around for weeks now.

Thanks

I will be driving South through Tanzania and Zambia from Rwanda during August and am looking for someone to share the petrol costs and driving. Is anyone interested or does anyone know of anywhere I may be able to meet travellers in Kigali? They seem to have just hotels and not hostels like some countries. Is there a good place to stay in Kigali?

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone plans on going gorilla trekking in the PNV in Rwanda on or around August 25? I'll be there then, traveling alone, and hoping to share transportation with/meet up with other travelers. Or also, anyone traveling from Uganda to Rwanda around this time.

Thanks!

Hi

I have one day in Kigali before beginning a tour (which includes the Genocide Museum so will leave this til the tour) so am looking for your top tips on how to spend the day! Also, I need to buy a sleeping bag...any ideas where one can be found in Kigali??

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dear fellow TTers,

my fiance and I are currently in Colombia, flying into Uganda in two weeks and are planning to go to Rwanda aswell. We have studied the Rwandan Immigration webpage but are still pretty confused about the state of the visas. I am travelling on an Austrian (not Australian) passport, my fiance on a New Zealand passport.

the webpage says that you have to apply for a visa at the Rwandan embassy in your country of residence (NZ for both of us), which we dont have. Does that mean…

Hello,

I will be moving quickly through Rwanda to get to Kampala as Im behind schedule and need to catch a flight. I was wondering if people knew whether there are buses throughout the day from Kigali to Kampala or are there only overnight buses.

Im having some trouble getting ahold of individual bus companies and just want to know if I arrive in Kigali in the morning whether I can catch a bus then or if I will have to wait until the night to get a bus.

Thanks so much!
