How safe is Rwanda?

Kigali
Honestly the safest place I’ve ever been! I go for late night walks in my neighborhood and don’t need to worry about my purse or phone getting stolen. There’s also little to no catcalling on the streets and people here are very polite. There’s not a lot of night life but people can get home late no issues with safety.

Kigali is quite safe that I've gotten too used to walking alone at night, but I've been sexually harassed on public transport in the day once. Aside from that, the crime rate is very low, and it's a very safe country to live in compared to many other African countries.
