- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- East Africa ↗Carry the yellow fever certificate on every leg of a multi-country trip: Uganda and Burundi check it for all arrivals, and a stop in Kenya or Ethiopia makes the next border ask for it.
- East Africa ↗Advice for Ethiopia, Somaliland, Eritrea, Somalia, South Sudan and the Congo border areas can change within days; read your government's page the week you fly and before every regional flight.
- East Africa ↗Price park, reserve and permit fees before comparing lodges: they are charged per person per day, often with VAT, and are fixed whatever bed you choose.
- Rwanda ↗Rwanda issues visas on arrival to all nationalities; check on the Directorate General of Immigration site whether your passport is fee-exempt, and use the official Irembo portal for any online application.
- Rwanda ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and carry a yellow fever certificate if you come from or connect through a risk country.
- Rwanda ↗Plastic carrier bags are banned and can be confiscated on arrival; pack in fabric or paper.
- Rwanda ↗On the last Saturday morning of each month (Umuganda community work), many businesses close and traffic is restricted; plan transfers around it.
- Kigali area ↗The last Saturday morning of the month restricts traffic: avoid it for long transfers.
- Kigali ↗Hills and uneven pavements: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Kigali ↗Last Saturday of the month, morning: Umuganda community work restricts traffic and closes many shops until about midday. Do not plan airport transfers or a tight schedule then.
- Kigali ↗The Kigali Genocide Memorial is a place of mourning: dress quietly, keep phones silent and follow the posted photography rules. Plan nothing demanding the same day.
