Before you travel to Rwanda, here are a few tips to help you understand the local culture and experience the best of this African destination.
1. Umuganda: A Day of Nationwide Community Service
On the last Saturday of every month in Rwanda, Umuganda marks a day of nationwide community service. From 8am for at least three hours, the roads are closed as people clean up the streets, help with building and repair work, or tend to public gardens.
Most places will have limited opening hours during Umuganda, so keep this in mind if you are in Rwanda at the end of the month.
