Here are some of the key considerations to enable you and your families visit Rwanda this year. 

Passengers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new procedures detailed in this Arriving Passenger Information Note from the Rwanda Biomedical Centre. Additional detailed new procedures have also been established by the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority.  We encourage visitors to especially note the guidelines for mask-wearing, physical distancing, hand sanitizing, negative COVID-19 test result, e-payment, and the requirement to use only authorized transportation from the airport to the designated hotel. Passengers are also required to complete a Public Health Passenger Locator Form before arriving in Rwanda.

All travellers arriving in Rwanda must have a negative COVID-19 certificate. The only accepted test is a SARS-CoV 2 Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) performed within 72 hours of departure (meaning travellers must be tested and get results within 3 days of their first flight). Other tests, such as Rapid Diagnostics Test (RDTs), are not accepted. COVID-19 Test is not mandatory for accompanied children under 5 years.

All passengers arriving will be screened upon entry and take a second RT-PCR test on arrival. Sample collection will be conducted at the airport upon arrival and waiting for the results will be at designated transit hotels.

We are excited to launch our Rwanda Safari itineraries filled with awe-inspiring natural wonders, abundant wildlife, primates and vast open spaces to explore as well as adrenaline-pumping activities, we are ready and raring to curate your bespoke safari to this beautiful country for an unforgettable holiday to explore Volcanoes National Park, Akagera National Park and Nyungwe Forest National Park, all uniquely gifted by nature.
