Rwanda insurance should be a key part of any plan to visit this beautiful but troubled land. Even though the violent civil unrest in 1994 that tore this country apart has largely been healed, living or working here can still present challenges, particularly with regards to health, life and disability cover.

Rwanda is a beautiful country of lush jungles and rolling mountains. Still remembered for the brutal genocide of 1994, it has since made huge progress towards recovery and is currently a much safer prospect for visitors than many of its neighbours.
Areas to avoid are along the borders with Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Here there is a risk of landmines and cross-border incursions by armed militias.
A number of vaccinations, including yellow fever should be up to date before arriving. Medical provision here is limited and health care standards are poor. Any serious injury or illness may not receive adequate care in Rwanda. Health insurance should include emergency evacuation, which will generally be by air to South Africa or Kenya.
In the capital, Kigali, there have been some reports of grenade attacks in Nyarugenge District though it is unclear who is behind these. Although the crime rate is relatively low, there has been some rise in bag snatching and mugging of foreigners. Avoid walking about alone at night, and try not to carry much in the way of valuables.
