كيغالي

Leave luggage at the airport left-luggage desk or a partner storage point on the route (marked ★). Carry only essentials and your passport.

Outside EU roaming: buy an eSIM before you travel or a prepaid SIM at an official carrier shop (bring your passport).

Cards at hotels, malls and bigger restaurants; local cash for markets, taxis and stalls. Withdraw at ATMs inside banks or malls.

A 5–10% tip is welcome; haggling is uncommon in shops.

Drink bottled or filtered water and avoid ice of doubtful origin; check that bottles are sealed.

Use app or hotel taxis, keep your phone away in the street and avoid walking after dark in empty areas. Kigali is one of Africa's safest capitals. Plastic bags are banned and helmets are compulsory on moto taxis.

Type C/J sockets, 230 V.

Toilets in malls, museums and cafés; some public ones charge a little and paper goes in the bin, not the bowl.
