About me:
Hi, my name is Theo Mutesa. I was born in Rwanda, but like many Rwandans, my family fled the country in 1994 and we eventually ended up in the Netherlands. That is where I grew up and lived for the past 20 years until 2019. That’s when I moved back to my motherland to follow my dream of opening my own gym and help contribute to the development of Rwanda.
If you would like to support me and/or my business here in Kigali, please donate to my crowdfunding campaign.

Hi Theo, I am glad I bumped into you videos. Please do a video on best neighborhoods to rent for expats.....thanks.
Great suggestion! I will look it into after the lockdown
Good idea !
Waiting for this
Proud of you!
thanks!
Your information is always thorough and appreciated as the landscape changes.
Can you consider creating a all thing Rwanda "Rwanda Travel Guide", hard copy on your website,, Amazon, Kindle and other online book platforms.
Asante!
sure, thank for the idea.
I just saw my question pop up! Gave me a good laugh!
hahah
Hey Debra, are you still going next month?
This was a great video.
Glad you think so!
I’m Rwandan and I too approve this message. You always come through with the best informative videos . $150??? How? Where can I get that deal!? In nyarutarama
I live in Nyarutarama. You can find a place that cheap only in the shack areas here. 1 bedroom apartments tend to start around $500 and go up steeply after that. You can rent rooms without kitchen/living rooms for $300-$400
Thnx! Yeah, you gotta hustle hard to get something like this, but they exist!
It is possible, for a long time we were renting rooms at 150$/month and the room has it's own full bathroom. you just share the parking lot, kitchen and living room and that was in Kibagabaga.
Thank u. Moving after 5 month. 4m Canada. In love with rewanda. Was their 2 years ago stayed for 3 month.
nice
Heel erg bedankt, Theos. That's right.... We should catch up soon. I am a Rwandan who lived in Dutch land (Deventer and Rotterdam)
ohh echt\? Ja, gezellig!
Yes Yes
Thanks for sharing my brother you have a new subscriber here in the comments. This is so helpful that way I can compare the cost of living between Rwanda and Ghana. Because I will be headed to the continent in April. And Rwanda has always been my first choice. I been to Nigeria before. Again thanks for this information
aah great to hear. You are most welcome to Rwanda
Again, thank you so much.
My pleasure!
Rwadans making Africans proud every day 🙏🏿❤️

Great info Theo, I have experienced everything so far except the "professional" broker.
hahah, you know the hustle 😁
The problem with vision city is that it is grossly overpriced even for an ex-pat. For 200k$ ( for the house, I believe the apartments are selling for 60k).I can build the same 2 or 3 houses else where and have wayyyy more space but I will not have the tennis courts, maybe not the nicely paved road with sidewalks and that level of security. They do make a good investment property if you can secure long term rental of over 1500$US/month. I debated for a while about purchasing a property there but I can now say confidently is that as an ex-pat I'd buy it as an investment property and have a second small property build most likely outside of Kigali that will be my vacation spot and it will not be more than 2 bedrooms with self-contained bathrooms. Keeping it as simple as possible and not spending over 30K for the land and the building.
I got u
yes indeed, its possible! But for some people, vision city is exactly what they need.
😁 just have the 300th like 👍🏾
Just found your channel and I'm very excited to learn more ☺️✌🏾
Yeaahh 🔥🔥🔥
I will be sharing this with my family. 😏💯
great!
Great video
Thanks!
Did you ever do a part 2?? I'm searching now. Haven't noticed it yet

Hello,I want to know about Rwanda from a native Rwandanian .Can you help me?
I am your new subscriber
Thanks and welcome!
Hello my brother,as we enjoy your posts, & all the information you give us. We are very interested in moving to Kigali, Rawanda, within the next few months, we need to look at what have available?
Hi Theo.. Has your rent changed over the years in the location or still same?
I enjoyed the video.. Filled with so much info I must say..
Thanks Theo for this very helpful and informative video. This is not a property related question, sorry. What kind of vehicle would you recommend ? I know that it rains a lot in Rwanda so do you think that you need a 4X4 or would a normal saloon type car be ok ? From what I've seen transport is relatively expensive compared to other normal living costs. And cars and 4 wheel drives seem to be expensive. Can you get away with just a normal car or are you going to have problems during rainy season.
Any car will work over here. Especially if you reside in Kigali mostly. However, high cars like 4x4's are more advisable.
thank you so much
You're welcome!
Theo, urakoze kubwinama zawe nziza.
100% Well Explained, let next video be "How to make much money in Kigali"
haha, sure why not
Jumia Rwanda is also an excellent website to find real estate!!!!
oke 👏🏿👏🏿
good job bro 👍
Egyptian man say hi to Rwanda. .
helloo
Hello, could you make a video or dedicate a few minuets talking about shipping? Like your experience ordering things online and also about buying furniture.
hhmn, good idea. My experience is more in shipping than shopping online, but I will look into it.
Yes please!
Thank you
You're welcome
thank you
You're welcome
I’ve never met another Theo... and I have locs too 😂
hahah really
Hey ., great knowledge i am a little confused were you talking about USD or any rwanda currency. Sorry i am not familiar
im talking about both
Hi Theo! Question: Do any of the houses have electric stoves, instead of cooking gas? Have you seen any all-electric homes??
Not that I know of, because electricity supply is not constant here. But I'm sure some people import electric stoves. All-electric homes are a thing of the future here
hello Theo thanks for opening this educative channel would like to know if there are jobs for semi skilled immigrants in Rwanda both urban and peri urban
Theo are the prices you list in this video in Rwandan Francs?
yes
What’s the name of the song that plays in your intro?
it's from Intayoberana troupe
Nice
Thanks
When u say one bedroom appt. That includes your own kitchen and washroom
Yes, correct
Please give us a tour of your house
hmnn... sure let me clean up first 😁🙏🏾😅
What I could not get with the quotations of the prices that you gave was whether you were referring to US dollars or Rwanda French Francs.
I use both.
How much would a self contained house cost :-
Washroom
King size bed
Dining room with fridge .etc
I would need it for one month
Depends on area, number of bedrooms and distance to city center.....
I am unable to find in my own tourist visa information. My question is: after the initial 90 days Tourist expires ..what tourist visa options are available in Rwanda? Thank you 😊 new sub!👍
welcome!
You can extend your tourist visa. You just have to accompany it with a reason :)
@@theoisback Thank you! I wish I could find more info online. I appreciate your help!
Hi Theo o hope i would I could get a reply from this question. Is there any schools or organisation that's thought skills (carpentry, building, phone repair,e.t.c)
hi yes there are, but they are not easy to find as most of them are not listed online
The prices are in USD or Rwf?
Im planning to move to kigali for work. My budget is exactly that. Please share one bedroom apartments with wifi etc and in Nyarutarama
sure thing
I'm applying to study Law in Rwanda.
2 of my friends are living there and they gave me a positive opinion about Rwanda but I'm googling all the time.
I can't wait to get there.
Hello, are there any term limits when you buy property in Rwanda? For instance in Ghana non citizens own property for 50 years and citizens own for 99 years
yeah, same here. bUt you can renew it fairly easily
How does this compare to other African countries. Is Ghana better for cost and standard of living? What is the best place to live in Africa? Thanks
I am coming to Kigali any time
yes, welcome!
Is Rwanda a high altitude country.
And what is the average temperature there.
yes, it's around 22 year-round
Making noise, does kids play outside, you can't play you music in your home? Sometimes, when I'm in my music feeling, I turn my music up at home and I'm in America and in an apartment and no one bothers me. 😉
haha enjoy
Sorry but I’m moving to Rwanda , let’s go!!!
