Rwanda is a country located in East Africa, known for its stunning landscapes, including mountains, lakes, and savannahs. It gained international attention due to the tragic genocide in 1994, but since then, Rwanda has made significant strides in economic development and reconciliation efforts. The capital city is Kigali, which has become known for its cleanliness and organized urban planning. Rwanda is also home to diverse wildlife, including endangered mountain gorillas, which attract tourists to its national parks.
Airlines servicing Kigali International Airport are: RwandAir, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, KLM, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines. Helicopter transfers within Rwanda are available through Akagera Aviation.
Rwanda has a well-surfaced road network linking the major towns, and the most convenient way to travel the country is by car. Smaller roads are frequently unsurfaced with varying conditions, especially during rainy season. It is possible to rent a vehicle with a driver. Taxis operate in the larger towns. Travel insurance may not cover motorbike taxis, which are also common.
There are no rail services and the most popular form of public transport is shared minibuses. In Kigali, buses operate a smart card system called Tap&Go.
