About us
Afya Safari Med was born from a simple but powerful idea: that world-class dental care and unforgettable travel should never have to be separate journeys. Based in the heart of Rwanda, we are East Africa’s premier dental medical tourism company — a bridge between exceptional oral healthcare and the raw, restorative beauty of the African wild.
Afya, meaning “health” in Swahili, is more than our namesake. It is our promise.
We design end-to-end experiences that take the stress out of medical tourism. From the moment you reach out to us, every detail — treatment planning, clinic coordination, accommodation, transportation, safari excursions, and recovery care — is handled with precision and care.

FAQ
What is dental medical tourism, and how does Afya Safari Med make it different?
Dental medical tourism means traveling abroad to receive dental treatment — often at lower cost, with shorter wait times, or paired with travel. Afya Safari Med goes further by combining accredited dental care with guided safari, cultural, and wellness experiences, all coordinated end-to-end under continuous medical oversight.
Who can use Afya Safari Med's services?
Anyone seeking quality dental care combined with a meaningful travel experience — whether you’re addressing a specific dental need or simply want affordable, high-standard treatment paired with an unforgettable trip to Rwanda and East Africa.
Are the dental clinics you work with accredited and safe?
Yes. We partner exclusively with accredited, highly qualified dental professionals who meet international standards of safety and quality — every clinic is vetted before it becomes part of our network.
Is my care medically supervised throughout my trip?
Yes. Afya Safari Med is physician-led, meaning your treatment plan, recovery, and overall journey are shaped and monitored with your health as the top priority at every stage.
What if I need a follow-up appointment or my recovery takes longer than expected?
Your dedicated coordinator adjusts your itinerary in real time — extending recovery periods, rescheduling excursions, or arranging additional clinic visits as needed, with no added stress on your part.
Where will I stay during treatment and recovery?
We select accommodations specifically suited to post-treatment recovery — quiet, comfortable, and close to your clinic — tailored to your specific procedure and needs.
What's included in a typical package?
Flights coordination, airport transfers, accommodation, clinic scheduling, private transport, and — where relevant — safari, cultural, or wellness excursions are all managed as one connected plan.
Will someone meet me at the airport?
Yes. Our medical concierge team greets you on arrival and manages every transfer throughout your stay, so you’re never navigating logistics alone.
Can I combine dental treatment with a safari?
Absolutely — it’s central to what we do. Once your treatment plan allows, we build in safari, cultural, and wellness excursions, carefully timed around your recovery.
How far in advance should I plan my trip?
We recommend reaching out at least 4–6 weeks before your intended travel dates to allow time for treatment planning, scheduling, and itinerary design — though we can accommodate more urgent requests.
How much does treatment typically cost compared to my home country?
Costs vary by procedure, but dental treatment in Rwanda is typically significantly more affordable than in Europe, North America, or other high-cost regions — without compromising on quality or safety.
Is Rwanda a safe destination to travel to?
Yes. Rwanda is widely regarded as one of Africa’s safest, cleanest, and most welcoming countries — an ideal setting for both medical care and travel.
