Get Tips and Info on Life in Rwanda from South African Expats

Being an expat in Rwanda means much more than packing your belongings and taking care of paperwork. Keeping in touch with your South African compatriots is a big part of the expat experience and can help you understand the Rwandan people and their culture better. With InterNations, meeting other South Africans in Rwanda is a breeze, no matter if you are in Gabiro, Kigali, Butare or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of South Africans in Kigali, for example.

If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for South African food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the South African InterNations Community:

• In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from South Africa.
• Our Rwanda Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get bobotie in Kigali...
• The InterNations Places database for Rwanda helps you find institutions like the nearest South African embassy.

From the Great Lakes region of eastern-central Africa to the province of Kigali City, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly South African expats in Rwanda.
