Detailed explanation-1: -The Rwandan franc (Rwf) is the principal currency, although US dollars are widely accepted. Expect to pay for local services in cash, in Rwandan francs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Rwandan Franc is the dominant currency and you should expect to pay for transport and in smaller shops using cash. There are ATMs in Kigali, but not all of them accept foreign cards.

The Euro is the most readily accepted hard currency bit US dollars and to a lesser extent British pounds sterling are also widely recognised.
