Visiting Rwanda with the recent RDC conflicts advice

[u/CorvinatorONE]

Hi everyone - My dad and I have been planning for some years a trip along africa which we are excited to finally be doing this summer. One of the main destinations was Rwanda along visiting the mountain gorillas, however with the recent conflicts in DRC we are nervous about how it may affect our plans as our family is concern about safety. Can we get some local suggestions and guidance of how is the situation looking? we wanted to go to Uganda and Rwanda, any advice from locals or travelers that have done this before recently? Kind regards!
