How to visit

How visitors can enjoy Rwanda

Rwanda is compact and well-organized, making it easy to combine gorillas, forest, savanna and lake activities in one trip. Gorilla permits should be booked early, and travelers should allow enough time for scenic road transfers.

Travel reminder: Adventure conditions, park access, weather, safety rules and visa requirements may change. Confirm the latest route and entry information before booking.
Plan the trip

Visa and entry preparation

Check whether your nationality needs a visa, eVisa, travel authorization, invitation letter or embassy route before planning adventure activities.

Hotels and route support

Choose accommodation close to the activity zone, whether that means a city base, safari lodge, mountain guesthouse, coastal hotel or remote camp.

Airport pickup and transport

Arrange arrival pickup, private transfers, car rental, 4x4 support or guided transport so the adventure starts with a clear route from the airport.
