With a large gorilla population, volcanic hiking trails and a safe and clean capital city, Rwanda should be at the top of every traveler’s wishlist. With a very rapid recovery from the history that is often associated with the country, now Rwanda is one of the thriving and the safest nations in Africa with a prospering imaginative scene-so that’s why it’s regularly alluded to as ‘the Future of Africa’. As we all know Rwanda is one of the smallest countries in Africa in size meaning you can drive anywhere within 3-5 hours from Kigali.

Upon arrival, you will make your way to your arranged transportation service, either by the hotel or the airport taxi, if you want to rent a car, you can contact us to make arrangements or seek for assistance at the airport. Make sure to convert your currency to Rwandan Francs, it makes it easier for negotiations. Now its always the best option to purchase a prepaid sim card that is often free, and purchase currency for the sim card.
02. Transport
If you are staying in Kigali or at Step Town Hotel you can call for a taxi or motorbikes by approaching the nearest road or having your hotel manager assist you with the taxi. Now if you get the nearest taxi driver it’s always best to take his number so you can call him whenever you need a taxi. Taxies are the best way for tourists to move around, but motorbikes make for the perfect experience, they are also 10 times cheaper than taxis. It’s always notable to always negotiate for every service you need.
