Can a political crisis in one country affect your road trip in another? Yes, if you’re traveling in Rwanda. Consider the following advice update from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office:
“The Government of Rwanda has imposed fuel (diesel, petrol and kerosene) restrictions on all private vehicles due to the ongoing political crisis in Kenya (all Rwanda's fuel is imported via Kenya). You can only purchase fuel up to a maximum value of 5 000 Rwandan Francs (roughly £5.00) at any one petrol station. Buses and taxis are not affected. If you plan to travel outside Kigali in a private vehicle you should make sure you have a full tank of fuel.”
While mediators work to settle the dispute in Kenya, there is currently no word on when these restrictions might be lifted.For the latest news and updates for Rwanda, check out our Rwanda Travel Advisory page.
