Kigali, Rwanda
2 laws, restrictions, and customs in Kigali that travellers often break without knowing — and the fines or consequences that follow.
Rwanda has one of the world's strictest bans on single-use plastic bags. Bringing them into the country through customs is illegal. All items must be repacked into cloth bags at the airport if found.
Denying, minimising, or justifying the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi is a criminal offence in Rwanda with a prison sentence. This includes social media posts made from within the country.
