Getting around as a tourist

Hey,

My friend and I plan on visiting Rwanda in a few months, and we are excited to see and learn about this country!

We're having a bit of trouble figuring out how to get about, we'd fly into kigali, before moving north to Ruhengeri, and then up into Uganda.

Just interested in people's advice on what the best way to get around is for backpackers - taxis, busses, private drivers, trains?

also if you have any recommendations on things to see that would be greatly appreciated!

Have a wonderful day!

How long does it take to get drivers license in Rwanda

I see like with every other country I'm aware of there's different levels and one of them is for learners under supervision of someone with their full license and then after that you can upgrade and drive on your own

In many places (including where I'm from) there's a minimum amount of time you must have learners before you can upgrade to a license that lets you drive on your own

My question is this:

Can you get the learners (whatever it's called) and then take a course and upgrade right away or is there an amount of time you have to wait before upgrading?

If there's any amount of time you have to wait between learner license, new driver license, and full license, how long are those times?

Sorry got not using the right naming, the Google results were a lot confusing

Hello! I am going to Rwanda for work this summer and I was wondering if there are any apps to learn basic greetings and other conversational phrases in Kinyarwanda. I tried utalk but I didn't find it helpful.

Financial Aid for a student to complete his studies at ALU University

Hey, guys. I am from Sudan and I have received a scholarship which is an exemption from tuition fees ($3,000) At African Leadership University in Rwanda, it's a prestigious university, and I don't want to miss a great opportunity like this because of the financial situation, I'm looking for (Individuals, enterprises, or companies) provide financial support or a loan that provides me with living expenses of $3,500 per year for three years which I cannot save due to the difficult economic conditions in Sudan due to the war. It would be a great opportunity for me and my future, which would change a lot if I got financial support or a loan.

Is Rwanda safe in July 2024

I have read that there is election time and I wish to know how safe it is during that time knowing that the last time there was an election was 2017. I’d really appreciate any tips or information as media is very general about it!

Music Festival Location ~1993

I am an outsider looking into Rwandan music, and I found an archive of a Festival hosted somewhere in Nyamirambo

https://youtu.be/GwOtbIj-OqI?si=b9jOOIX6e-2iwWRI

Does anyone know where this stadium is located? Or any background information on the first singer, Muhirwa Jean Berchmans?

Do Spanish Limes grow in Rwanda?

Hello! I am making a trip to Rwanda soon, and I wanted to know if Spanish Limes (Quenepas, Canapa, Mamon, Genip, Quenette) grow in the country! I know the grew, or at least used to grow in South Africa. If someone could tell me whether or not they grow in Rwanda and what they are called there, I would really appreciate it!

Internet outage

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with their internet today? Apparently it is a problem in all of East Africa due to some cut cables. Does anybody know how long these things take to resolve or if it will be resolved at all?

Host Family Gifts?

Hi everyone,

I’m traveling to Rwanda in a few weeks (Kigali) for a Study Abroad program through my university, and for a weekend of the trip I will be living with a host family. I’ve been advised to bring a gift for them, but I’m not sure what to bring! I’ve been told to bring something for the children as well as the adults, and I’ve been told that Rwandan adults don’t like sweets much. Does anyone have any ideas/recommendations?
