Briefing

What we plan around at KGL.

Local constraints we build into every delivery window: curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.

01

Plastic is confiscated, so our packaging is plastic-free.

Rwanda enforces the world’s strictest plastic-bag ban, and bags are confiscated at the airport on entry. For catering this is a genuine compliance issue: we pack Rwanda-bound provisioning without plastic bags or wrap.

02

Gorilla-trek onward.

Volcanoes NP (~2.5h by road, or helicopter). Trek-day provisioning: daypacks kept light (under ~3 kg loaded), packed for a long, wet, muddy day.

03

Conference surges.

Summit and conference weeks fill the city and the ramp, book far ahead.

04

Malaria & yellow fever.

Rwanda is a malaria-risk zone; a yellow-fever certificate is expected.

05

Confirm handler.

Delivery starts with the tail’s FBO.
