Rwanda Crop to Cup

Team Formation

Our last Crop to Cup Trip to Rwanda was in June 2024. If you are interested in joining our next group, please contact us and subscribe to our newsletter.

Duration: 10 days in country

Airport: KGL (Kigali, Rwanda)

Experience / Grit: Rwanda is an easy country to travel. It is clean, safe, friendly and the climate is very comfortable. Quality organic food and clean water are readily accessible. Some days are long and some roads are rough, so we expect all participants are up for adventure, consider yourself flexible and resilient. We also will ask you some general questions about your overall mental health, since Rwanda has a severe history of trauma, the stories can be triggering to some people.
