Health Degree of risk: very high food or waterborne diseases: bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever vectorborne disease: malaria (2004) Safety Tourists are welcomed in Rwanda. It is largely considered safe for travellers to visit Rwanda. The possible exceptions are certain places along the Congolese and Burundian borders. Rwandan troops are involved in the civil war that still plagues the north-east of Democratic Republic of the Congo, mainly due to the presence of Interhamwe who fled after the 1994 genocide. Whilst Gisenyi and Kibuye are considered safe, the border situation can change at any time - check Foreign Office information for further advice. While the gorilla trekking is near to the DRC border it is generally considered safe.
