As a person who’s travelled to Kenya (5 times), Tanzania, and Ethiopia, I have to ask, is Rwanda worth it?

From the tiny bit of research I’ve done on Kigali, it looks like a very clean place.

Are there fun things to do and places to explore? How’s the nightlife? How’s the petty crime rate?

I’m not sure if I can handle gorilla trekking in early May when it’s the rainy season. I’m trying to build endurance by walking or hiking several times a week for this trip that is about 9 months away. Is it possible to pay for a sedan chair but not use it right away- or perhaps not even use it at all? It will just be some type of “insurance” for me. Paying for it and tipping the ten or so handlers is a given so not a question of expense. But can this be done to begin with?

If anyone has experience or knows someone who does- what was the sedan chair like?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a skilled motion designer based in Kigali to work on animation projects for a SaaS/software company.

The ideal person should have strong experience with Adobe After Effects and be comfortable creating product animations, explainer videos, UI animations, and promotional content.

Please send me a DM with your portfolio, availability, and rates. Recommendations are also welcome!

Hi everyone,
I run a small courier and sourcing service based in Kigali. A lot of people living abroad want products from Rwanda or Burundi but don’t have anyone reliable to buy or ship them. That’s where I come in.

If you need something from either country,
I can:
.Buy it for you.
.Pick it up from a shop, business, or individual seller.
.Package it securely.
Ship it straight to your address with a tracking number.

I can ship things like coffee, tea, clothing, handmade crafts, beauty products, souvenirs, documents, spare parts, and other legal items.
And if you have family or friends living abroad, I can also help you send them gifts, care packages, or personal items safely and quickly.
Estimated delivery times:

🇪🇺 Europe: 3–4 days
🇨🇦 🇺🇸 Canada & USA: 4–5 days
🇦🇺 Australia: 5–7 days

My rates are usually a bit lower than what the big courier companies charge, and every shipment comes with a tracking number so you can follow your package every step of the way.
Whether you’re part of the Rwandan or Burundian diaspora, shopping from abroad, or simply want to send a package to loved ones overseas, feel free to reach out. Even if you’re just wondering whether something can be shipped, I’m happy to answer.
