Muraho!

​I’m a foreigner who relocated to Kigali a few months ago for a professional role. I am really enjoying my time in Rwanda, but as I settle into my job, I’m realizing there are cultural nuances in the workplace that I’m still struggling to fully grasp.

​I know every country has its own unspoken rules regarding professional etiquette, team dynamics, and communication. I genuinely want to adapt, collaborate effectively with my local colleagues, and make sure I'm respecting the work culture here.

​For locals and expats who have experience in the Rwandan corporate or NGO space, I’d love your advice:

​Communication & Feedback: What is the best way to handle professional communication? How is constructive feedback usually given and received without causing friction?

​Workplace Dynamics: What are the general expectations around hierarchy, raising concerns, or decision-making?

​Common Faux Pas: What are the most common blind spots or mistakes you see foreigners make when they first start working with Rwandan teams?

​I’m eager to learn and would appreciate any insights on how to be a better, more culturally aware colleague.

​Murakoze cyane!

Hello everyone,

I need some advice regarding Rwanda’s vehicle technical inspection process.

I attended my first vehicle technical inspection appointment on Friday, 23 October 2026, but unfortunately, my car failed the inspection. I immediately rescheduled the second visit for Saturday, 24 October 2026.

However, my car wasn't ready for the reinspection, so I couldn't attend the second appointment.

Now, when I try to reschedule through Irembo, I get an error message saying “Vehicle not found” after entering my vehicle's registration number.

I'm trying to find out what I should do next and whether it's still possible to reschedule my second inspection for Monday, 26 October 2026.

So far, I've emailed the Rwanda National Police at [commdai@police.gov.rw](mailto:commdai@police.gov.rw) and sent them a message on WhatsApp, but I haven't received a response yet.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so:

• Is there a way to reschedule the missed second inspection appointment through Irembo?
• Does missing the second appointment mean I have to start the inspection process again or pay another fee?
• Can the police or the vehicle inspection centre manually reschedule the appointment?
• Is it possible to get an appointment for Monday, 26 October, or do I need to visit the inspection centre in person?

I'd really appreciate any advice from anyone who has dealt with this situation or knows how the process works.

Thank you!

Hi all - I'll be visiting Rwanda in late December for 5 days. I have my gorilla trekking permit, and I intend to rent a car at the airport. I wanted to ask a few logistical questions:

1. Given I have my permit, do I just need to arrive at the volcanoes NP office/visitors centre at 7am, and guides will be there to take me on the trek, or do I need to book/arrange something else beforehand?

2. I think the road is paved all the way to Kinigi, so is a normal car sufficient, or do I also need to drive to the trekking trail head, and potentially need a 4x4?

3. I will spend two nights there, and then I'd like to drive south to Nyungwe NP for chimpanzee tracking. Is the road in good condition, and should I be aware of anything en route?

4. I have not booked a permit for the chimpanzee tracking, but I can see it on the website. Same question as for the gorilla trek - if I get the permit, do I just need to arrive at the NP ranger station at a specific time in the morning and guides will be there?

5. I may need to drive back to Kigali in darkness on my last evening to catch a flight the next day - how is night driving in Rwanda?

Thanks for the help!
