GENERAL INFO FOR TOURISTS

For general information on preparing for your time in Rwanda, view the Africa Guide site.

For information on the types and application process required for different visas, view the Rwandan government's site.

The official currency of Rwanda is the Rwanda Franc (FRw). It is very difficult to use credit cards and travelers cheques in Rwanda, thus visitors are recommended to bring any necessary funds in U.S currency, which is easily exchanged in the major cities. For information on current currency exchange rates, view www.oanda.com.

For information about excursions within Rwanda, see the Rwandan Tourist Board’s website (ORTPN).
