Rwanda

[DelBosque]

Arrived yesterday morning, took a flight from Paris via Nairobi to Kigali. Staying at place called Gania Inn, about $20/ night in Remera. Not bad but not the location shown on booking.com.Room is quite big, shower not good.

Had a lunch at a place near hotel Zambeze, forgot the name but good value buffet for 2500 rwf. Also checked out.

The massage at hotel Zambeze...

Hello Buck011. Only 1 experience during your stay?

I'm coming next month, 2 years after my first visit.

The massage at hotel Zambeze, its 10 k for one hour lady not particularly attractive but not ugly either. The massage was good though. Didn't give any signs that she is available for some extras and I didn't bother asking.

Later in the evening I was strolling street kg18,where I met a nice looking 23 yo. Quick negotiations and she accepted my proposed 10 k. We took those motorbike taxis (total 1000 rwf) and couple of minutes later we arrived at my place. The receptionist was not there so I just took a quick look at her ID to confirm her age and we headed to my room. The experience was good, she was friendly, kissing, BJ and sex (condom). Wanted to give her 15 k,she deserved that tip, but noticed I have not enough rwf with me so she hit the jackpot getting $20. Yes I overpaid but OK. That ass was worth it. After the session she went with me to some store to help me buying some things I needed. Very friendly good probability I will repeat her.

Hey you guys,

I am new in here and I was blown by the amount of the information there is. Thank you very much for this.

However I have a very late layover in Kigali 6 hours starting 2 AM and would really love a massage after the long trip of 14 hours and before proceeding the road to an 4 hours car drive to Goma DRC.

Any help!

Well. It didn't take 10 trips to realize that Thailand wasn't for me. I really liked it. But over the past couple of years price were rising to a point that it doesn't make sense to me to pay those rates when I could get it for similar price or even cheaper back home.

My plan is to book a flight to Kigali end only to book a hotel for the first couple of nights. If I like the place I will stay longer / couple of weeks if not I will move first to Kampala and later Mombasa.

Actually I will probably book a multistop flight to Kigali with a return from Daar-es Salam. Very good price at the moment.

I'm also interested in non mongering things in Rwanda.

Oh and I speak a bit french (might come handy with some girls I understand).

I'm always interested in non mongering activities. I had a long layover in Rwanda. I had no real time on the ground but I think the hype about Rwanda may be overblown (as far as the infeststructure is concerned).

In Dar there's Oyster bay and I'd suggest going to the beach at the Ramada (It's free) Although it's kid oriented Fun city waterpark is cool too.

Let us know how it goes.

Trip.

OK flight booked arriving in Kigali on Janury 31st if some BMs will be there happy to meet them.

Take it from a guy who didn't take neddy's advice You'd probably want to throughly know a place first. You spent ten trips to understand Thailand wasn't for you it's going to take ten trips to figure out Africa.

Bottom line you can meet different tribes in one main city, and the price generally ranges from 10 to 30 bucks LT in all countries. Unless you're really doing some touristy non mongering activities I'd go to Mombasa Maybe Nairobi if you want a cooler place. Either way tell us how your initial trip went good or bad.

Thanks for your advice. I think 1.5 months is too much time to spend in one place but will try Mombasa for sure.

Uganda, Rwanda and maybe even Burundi also on my list. Checking flights now.

Read a lot of your posts, many good information there.

Hi guys,

Where in Kigali is best area for staying? Do you have some hotels you would recommend? Thinking about visiting Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya end of January, would be a 1.5 months trip. After 10 trips to Thailand I'm ready to cross it off my list, not worth the money anymore IMO.

Kigali is elusive. Its very spread out. The only place where there is 24/7 entertainment is the muslim quarter. Nyiamirambo. The city is also called mille collines. 1000 Hills. So you have a lot of different quarters to choose from. A very good resource:

Burundi. If you really wanna go be aware that you can get the visa in Kigali. But it can take up to 10 business days for processing. No need to go you can find Burundian girls in Kigali as well as Kampala. You need french. Even in Kigoma there is burundian refugees...

Don't try to gobble up to much on your first subsaharan Africa trip. Start with Mombasa. Get ripped off. After a couple of months when you're ready go advanced. Use the search function. Read all my posts in the Mombasa forum. When there's any open questions left. Ask. Otherwise do your RTFF research.

So bad indeed. I guess you were not generous enough to keep her out of business. But more generous with Malagasy pousse I guess. I don't think I made her pregnant but with all these sponsored girls you never know. PM me her number so I can be sure it wasn't me.

Your posts are a waste of space. Either contribute something useful or shut up. I hope I was clear enough this time.

Neddy.

Lurk somewhere else. Where you can drop your shit around like having never paid bribes or never have been ripped off. Stay in the Thailand forum where you belong.

I know only Hotel Beausejour, I didn't had choice so I was there, looks good, nice accomodation and restaurant, price for me was about 60 $ for one night, but I saw guestrooms just above in the street, going to pizza Sole Luna, same side as Hotel, and also continuing on same side of street toward the big roundabout there is Auberge Beausejour Guest House, may be to be checked.

Thats all I can give as advices. 1 night was a bit short to know more.

It is a lot. I sponsored my GF. I sent her like 50 to 70 k a month. It is a LOT of money in Rwanda.

She was an absolute sweetie pie. But she fucked up big time. Got herself impregnated. That led to the termination of the support.

Thanks Neddy, yes was too much for sure, but this one was not on internet, I did chat a lot to try to maximize my chances for this only free night, but at the end I chose her which I just met in this MP.

The other was on afro but she has a job too, saying she do about 65 k a month. Not a lot.

The masseuse told me she can earn 150 k a month, which seems a lot.

It is a lot. I sponsored my GF. I sent her like 50 to 70 k a month. It is a LOT of money in Rwanda.
