Health & Safety
Proof of Yellow Fever vaccination is mandatory at all borders. We recommend consuming only bottled or filtered water and consulting travel clinics for malaria prophylaxis before departure.
Cultural Etiquette
East Africans value polite greetings. Dress modestly when visiting local communities or religious sites. In Rwanda, respect 'Umuganda' community days and avoid using plastic bags (they are banned).
Connectivity
Local SIM cards from MTN or Airtel are easily obtained at Entebbe and Kigali airports. Wi-Fi is standard in most urban lodges, though signal strength varies in remote forest camps.
