Rwanda, known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills”, is home to some of the most breathtaking natural wonders in Africa. From the Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park, the majestic savannah of Akagera National Park, to the lush rainforests of Nyungwe National Park, every visitor experiences something unforgettable.

But here’s the truth: language is the real key to connection. When tourists, volunteers, NGO staff, or business visitors learn a few simple Kinyarwanda phrases, their experience becomes warmer, more authentic, and more respectful of local culture.

At Afrilingual Sounds, we believe that even a few words can open doors to deeper connections. Here are some must-know Kinyarwanda survival phrases for your next visit to Rwanda’s national parks:

Muraho! – Hello!
Amakuru? – How are you?
Ndishimye cyane. – I’m very happy.
Ni he twajya gusura ingagi? – Where can we go to see the gorillas?
Nshobora gufata ifoto? – May I take a picture?
Murakoze cyane. – Thank you very much.

💡 Imagine walking into a village near Volcanoes National Park, greeting people in Kinyarwanda, and instantly receiving smiles. Or asking your guide in their own language about the wildlife. The bond becomes stronger, the respect deeper, and the memory unforgettable.
