Rwanda: common questions

What travellers from Surat ask us before booking.

The seasons we usually recommend are Summer (June–September), Winter (December–February). Tell us when you can travel and we will say honestly whether it is a good window or suggest a better one.

Visa on Arrival. Our visa desk handles the whole application — document checklist, appointment, submission and tracking until your passport is back. Call +91 97278 86777 or send an enquiry.

Yes. We plan the whole trip from Surat — flights from Surat, Ahmedabad or Mumbai, hotels, transfers, sightseeing and visas — as one costed itinerary with a single point of contact.

It depends entirely on your dates, hotel category and how many of you are travelling, so we quote live rather than publish a figure that would be out of date. Send us your dates and you will normally have a costed itinerary the same working day, free and with no obligation.
