INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL MUSEUMS RAISING ENTRANCE FEES TO RAISE MORE FUNDS
(Posted 30th March 2015)
A regular source in Kigali has confirmed that entrance fees and charges for other services at the various museums across Rwanda, the Royal sites included, will be raised from 01st of April. East African residents will from that date onwards be required to pay RF 3.000 as opposed to the previous charge of RF 1.000 and fees for non-resident visitors have risen correspondingly.
Visits to the various museums and Royal sites, i.e. the palace at Nyanza or the coronation preparation sites near Musanze, entrance to the Musanze caves and other similar attractions are now an almost integral part of a safari across Rwanda, in part to diversify the tourism products and in part to showcase the country’s history from the ancient times to today’s new Rwanda.
It could not be ascertained what advance notice safari operators were given, if any, to cater for the fee rise in their tour packages.
