Tourism in Rwanda Will Continue in Strict Adherence With COVID -19 health guidelines.

We are pleased to announce that tourism in Rwanda remains open. Kigali International Airport remains open for passenger commercial flights and private charter flights in and out of the country for tourism. All arriving passengers are required to have a PCR- 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. BOOK NOW

All passengers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new procedures and we encourage visitors to especially note the guidelines for mask-wearing, physical distancing, hand sanitizing, e-payment, and the requirement to use only authorized transportation all through their stay in Rwanda.

All travellers departing from Rwanda must test negative for COVID-19. The only accepted test is a SARS-CoV 2 Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) performed within 72 hours before departure. Other tests, such as Rapid Diagnostics Test (RDTs), are not accepted. We encourage travellers to book and pay for their tests at least 2 days prior to departure.

Guests are able to do departure tests in popular tourist locations including Musanze, Nyagatare, Nyamasheke, Rwamagana and Rubavu. Visitors can also be tested in Kigali at Amahoro Stadium “Petit Stade” in Remera and the Rwanda Biomedical Centre Gikondo Branch at the Office of Vaccination Programme on KK 6 Ave. The cost of the test is USD 60.

Summer is here and you should book your Rwanda Safari to this remarkable country well known by many as the Lane of A thousand hills filled with primates, the mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, Chimpanzees in Nyungwe forest and the abundant wildlife in Akagera National Park.
