Rwanda

[Jargonizations]

Called my wing man (a local) after settling in and went to a pub nearby to catch up and go over my planned itinerary for the next few days. My schedule was tight and I didn't have time to waste. I wanted to see what the rest of the country looked like outside the Capital city. We were having some drinks a little past 2 am when a female police officer barged into the pub and ordered us out. Last call is 1 am weekdays and 2 am weekends. Not wanting to risk her ire we left and went to bed.

Woke up the next day to a torrential downpour and decided to stay put until the weather cleared. Called up one of my contacts from last time who came thru after stopping at the supermarket to buy some food and supplies for us. Drank a few Heineken's before taking her to the bedroom and smashing her over the night. The next morning, I sent her away with 50 k and started getting ready to head out west. I rarely do repeats and will not be seeing her again. For those suckers on her social media pages, insist on a video call or prepare to be surprised by her in person appearance!

Arrived safely after a semi-interesting flight from a European capital. The flight was initially delayed because one of the doors wasn't sealing properly. We then had to relocate to another gate so that maintenance could fix the issue. Once that was done, we had to take on additional fuel with the doors open and passengers on the ready. Just in case! On final approach to Kigali, the pilots decided to go around which increased my anxiety levels because of all those hills that surround the airport. I was glad when we landed and my boots were on terra firma.

Immigration took my passport scanned / stamped it taking the lesser part of a minute to do so. Collected my bags, exchanged some currency and later headed to the MTN store to get connected. MTN now has esim as an option. Once all was said and done, I had 10 GB of data, airtime and my MoMo account ready to go. The MoMo can be used for 99.999% of all transactions in Rwanda! Just like Mpesa in Kenya, carrying cash should now be a thing of the past. Topping up can be done via WorldRemit. To prevent loss of your number and MoMo account, occasionally add money to the account, make a call or have MTN save your number for you.

Configuring MTN took far longer than clearing immigration. I'm aiming to be on a backpack on my next trip and hope to be on a Moto headed to my hotel 20 minutes after landing.

So finally I get to make it to Rwanda next week.

Just wondering any fellow monger would be there?

Also anyone can share the information for accommodation, coolest clubs etc?

I was in Kigali & Gisenyi in January, I did not write a report on that time. Basically I am French and on French speaking Youppie site I contacted a European guy living in Kigali.

I got the contacts directly from him. Normal prices were 30 k RWF (+/- 22 $) for good relaxed sessions. So did not do any research by myself so was shy to write a report with poor reporting relevant details.

Kigali is very safe, walked at night every where no problem, girls are friendly, no rush, no problem. It is quite an advantage to go around in this friendly atmosphere.

If interested I can pass you this local contact just PM me.

Sound interesting. I will PM you.

Hey mate, hope your health has improved. Please contribute back to forum with a detailed report (and photos) of your experiences. Some are keen to try Rwanda, but would appreciate more details before committing to a mongering trip. Most interested in the girls you found, cost, method, age, etc. Are there any dark slim no-baby 18-22 year old on offer?!

Thanks bro!

2 week stopover and did a bit of everything. Dating apps, massage parlours and caf/ restaurant pickup. Only one of these methods really shines. (Just getting over covid and diarrhoea at the moment) All will be revealed. Including getting around, food etc.

I spent about a week exploring various Kigali neighborhoods. I went out with two other residents at my guesthouse to Nyamurambu. Nyamurambu is the Muslim neighborhood but also has some nightclubs that close until 1-2. All the clubs are pretty lame and like most African countries, they are filled with African men. In particular, Torino Club is a total scam job. The waitresses hustle drinks at extravagant prices from all customers foreign and African alike. They give the impression they will go home with them if they keep spending until closing but disappear after closing time. The two I was out with thought they had a couple waitresses that night. I noticed the girls were always with a drink and got pinched or rubbed by just about every other table. To me, the waitresses are ugly. During that night, the drunk owner picked a fight with the entire table of patrons who were having a lot of fun dancing and drinking. They were not rowdy. They were not snuggling the waitresses or buying waitress drinks.

The same two housemates asked me to go back with them the next night. I declined and moved without telling them. From my observations, pick a woman out for a night walk. They do not look hard knocks as in other countries. For me, I'm using the method I found in my Ghana days. I look during the day and create a network. It's so much easier to work alone.

Credit card is accepted at the airport for visa payment and is very efficient. Not every nationality has to pay. Some nationalities are allowed entry visa free the first 30 days. Americans pay $50 for single entry and $70 multi-entry.

As in every airport, there is a forex immediately upon exiting. Exchange money then stop and get the MTN sim and activate MoMo. Download the MoMo app and download the Move app. Hail a taxi from the app. The taxi stand next to the MTN is overpriced but, one says it accepts credit card payments.

You can PM me but I won't be going to MPs.

Pack light.

MP isn't my thing either. I like the hunt. .

I am planning to come next week. Quic questions:

- For Visa fees, Do they accept credit card? Or it had to be cash USD?

- are there any Money Exchange we can exchange $$?

- let me know if you want to link for hunting next weekend.

I arrived in Rwanda yesterday and set up MTN and a momo account. Mobile money is widely accepted in Rwanda. I use WorldRemit to add money.

Also, for Americans, a visa on arrival is required. The immigration officer did all the work. I paid $70 for a multi entry visa. Immigration was the easiest I've ever experienced.

This is just day 2 so correct me if I'm wrong. I’m learning. Today is Umuganda. Rwandans are required by law to participate on the last Saturday of every month from 8-11. I don’t have all the details but people are out picking up trash.

As I was warned, Kigali is not a nightlife venue. In most African counties, nightlife begins after 11-12. Not in Kigali. I believe its law that establishments close at 1 am weekdays and 2 am weekends. I'm told the best ladies are gone well before 11. However, there are a lot of ladies out for a stroll if that's your preference.

You can't use Bolt or Uber in RW. I downloaded MOVE by VW. Still, the taxi tries to alter the price on arrival or in transit. I use MoMo just as I use mPesa in Kenya for larger transactions. For Boda rides, make sure you carry small denominations. It's an effort getting change from a Boda. Keep a head covering ready for Boda rides. You must wear a helmet (Worn out and filthy).

I think there is mobile money that you can use for taxi etc. They set you up when you get your MTN sim.

For those who spend time in Rwanda, do you prefer to get a VoA or eVISA or do you even need a VISA for the first 30 days? Can you get the multi-entry visa on arrival? Information websites about Rwanda vary wildly and the actual Rwandan websites say different things. I'm not sure since the sites are poorly written.

Are there expat hangouts?

Also, is mobile money widely used?

Two new gems highly recommended. They have opened their own office in a quiet residential area. Massage and SPA as usual. But you'll get what you want.

Beautifully made girls, massage professionals and good at FS. On a safe note, better you bring your own beret.

Full damage: 15 K for a decent swedish massage and for FS, negotiate per as the value of services and the provider. Go and check yourself as I do not want to bias your judgment.
