Is it safe to travel to Uganda
Rwanda is a safe country to visit. Especially if you want to join organised game drives with private guides, as you will do with us. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kigali. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side (pun intended): don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing big and visible jewellery and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.
