Rwanda re-opens for Tourism

Rwanda Development Board (RDB) announced the reopening of tourism activities as well as the resumption of international travel for charter flights, effective 17 June 2020.

The well-being of all travelers is top priority and have therefore put robust health and safety guidelines in place.

Together with the private sector, RDB is offering attractive all-inclusive tourism packages for Rwandans and foreign residents.

Promotional offers are available until 31st December 2020 in our National Parks:

  • Gorilla permits are now available for USD 200 for Rwandans & EAC nationals residing in Rwanda, and USD 500 for foreign residents.
  • Special packages are available for groups, families and corporates on other products in Volcanoes and Nyungwe National Parks.

Specific precautionary measures are as follows:

  • Domestic tourists visiting Nyungwe and Volcanoes National Parks are required to test negative for COVID-19 within 48 hours prior to visiting these attractions. A private test center has been set up at Petit Stade, Amahoro National Stadium in Kigali, by appointment only. Other test centers outside Kigali will be communicated as demand grows.
  • All visitors travelling by charter flights are expected to test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours prior to arrival. Tourists will take a second COVID-19 test prior to visiting any tourist attraction.
