Hello all

A note for drone users planning to travel to Rawanda whether planning to use your drone or not. Drones are banned in rawanda without a permit. All bags are scanned and any drones must be handed over to officers who will hold them in a room full of other drones until you leave the country.

I found the experience scary as I wasn’t prepared for it but the guys were good and I got my drone back. They check carefully for drones and some of our checked luggage was held aside as the scan operators thought something resembled a drone.
 
How hard is it to get a permit? Not that I ever intend on going there.
 
Rwanda
gov.rw
Rwanda, officially the Republic of Rwanda, is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley of Central Africa, where the African Great Lakes region and Southeast Africa converge. Located a few degrees south of the Equator, Rwanda is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.Wikipedia
 
Be glad it was not one of our more southern neighbors. I learned to check before travel.
